SAN ANTONIO \u2013 Brennan Bears superstar Bella Flemings had her own pep rally hosted by the school to celebrate her spot on the McDonald\u2019s All-American team.<\/p>\n
Only 24 of the best athletes in the country are selected each year as McDonald\u2019s All-Americans. It is one of the highest achievements a high school student-athlete can earn.<\/p>\n
Friends, family, the band and all spirit teams were there to show their support. The school also recognized the boys\u2019 basketball team for winning the district title, and two athletes on the swim and dive team for making it to state. <\/p>\n
But the main event was Flemings.<\/p>\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t even say the words to tell how appreciative I am of this program and this community here at Brennan,\u201d Flemings said. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019d be able to do it without them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Head coach Jaclyn Contreras said Flemings\u2019 contribution to the program speaks for itself, but it\u2019s the inspiration she provides to younger generations that sets her apart.<\/p>\n
\u201cBella came in here, 14 years old, being our starting point guard, and she has set the bar high. She\u2019s an amazing role model,\u201d Contreras said. \u201cShe\u2019s an amazing human being.\u201d<\/p>\n
For anyone who has ever seen Flemings in action, it\u2019s not hard to tell when she is being guarded and pressured throughout the game. <\/p>\n
Both Flemings and her head coach said she understood what she had to do. In fact, that pressure helped shape her into the player she is today.<\/p>\n
Speakers at the pep rally said not only is Flemings a star on the court \u2014 she has also been a stellar student, earning all-academic honors several times during her time at Brennan High School.<\/p>\n
