Last Thursday, stand out quarterback Alex Brown from Red Bank Catholic (NJ) lost his mother to breast cancer. Her battle had lasted 14 years.

๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ™

The next night, Brown hit the football field, mother in the forefront of his mind, and just absolutely balled it up:

Brown, a senior committed to Bucknell, threw six touchdowns and ran for two more as his inspiring performance helped power second-seeded Red Bank Catholic, No. 11 in the NJ.com Top 20, to a 58-34 victory over seventh-seeded Morris Catholic in the first round of the NJSIAA/Rothman Orthopaedics Non-Public B playoffs at Count Basie Field in Red Bank.

I'm not crying, you're crying...

Brown also got a shoutout from Tom Brady, which is pretty sweet:

Stay strong Alex, and best of luck in the playoffs and next year at Bucknell!
