            ATTLEBORO – Brandon Clark, 14, an eighth-grade student at Dayspring Christian Academy of Attleboro, was recently named a 1^st-Team All-New England Scholar by Pop Warner Little Scholars of Langhorne, Penn.

            The son of David and Carol Clark of Attleboro, Brandon was a member of the Attleboro Eagles Pop Warner Football program for the past several years as a quarterback and linebacker. He is one of 35 Eagles’ players and cheerleaders to earn All-New England status this year, qualifying them to attend an All-American Scholar Banquet at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro on April 10.

            Clark is also a talented youth basketball player in Attleboro and a member of the Attleboro Bombers AAU Baseball team. He will attend Attleboro High next year.

            “I am very honored to have been named a Pop Warner Little Scholar again this year,” Clark said. “In sports and in school, I just try to do my job.”

            At DCA, Clark does his “job” extremely well. A high-ranking student academically, he is a two-year member of the school’s chapter of the National Junior Honor Society and earlier this year placed first in a New England District geography competition sponsored by the Association of Christian Schools International. He also represented the school at an ACSI Leadership Conference in November.
