The Best At It!!

 ReShard Lee is a former football running back in the NFL for the Cowboys, Packers and Raiders. And he's also a good friend of mine, and an alumni of my high school Brunswick High Mighty Pirates. Lee was one of the top athletes in the state of Georgia during his tenure. At the time he was our quarterback. He led our team to the state championship game, but unfortunately we fell short. But it doesn't take away the success the football team had while he was under center. As a senior, he passed for 1,600 yards and 18 touchdowns, while running for 670 yards and 8 touchdowns, contributing to 14 straight wins. He received honorable-mention in the USA Today All-American, Class AAAA first team and WTOC-TV Player of the Year honors. After the end of the season was done, he finished his high school career with 4,175 passing yards, 56 passing touchdowns and 73 rushing touchdowns, and breaking many records in the process. 101 Reshard Lee Photos and Premium High Res Pictures - Getty Images

 The Ritz Theater has been a staple of history in the city of Brunswick. Many performances and plays have happen here. There have even been many comedy shows as well. The Ritz is located in the old town are of Brunswick, Georgia, or downtown area. The Ritz was built in 1899 in order to house the grand opera house, retails stores, and the general offices of the Brunswick & Birmingham Railroad. In this present time, downtown Brunswick's historic Ritz Theater and Arts Center features yearly live performances, films, exhibits, educational programs, and so much more. The Ritz Theater's programming and management are done by both the Golden Isles Arts and Humanities Association, and the Coordinating Arts Council for the city of Brunswick and Glynn County. The Ritz still is standing better and strong as each day goes by. Not only is it a great place for the arts, but its located right across from some of the finest places to eat. on in particular is the island jerk diner. But I ca...

Original First African Baptist Church

 I'm in disbelief that no matter where I search, I cant find any type of history of the church me and my family grew up in. I really going to have to do some research from old members or something. I grew up attending what we call First A.B Church. Praising God every Sunday, bible study on Wednesdays, and whatever else is going on during the week, of course we had to be there. Because I was a child at the time, and when grandma goes you go, and if you had a grandma in the church, then you already know how that goes. But back to the story. First African Baptist Church, from what I remember is the old black church in my hometown of Brunswick, Georgia. The originally part of the church is still standing until this day, on top of added renovations and annex building over the years. First A.B. was established in 1863. The church has had it share of pastors including my pastor Reverend Pettibone and before him my godfather Reverend Wingard and many others. I have so many memories growing...
