During a recent Brentwood District government meeting, community members gathered to express their support for the local golf program led by Ron Hudson, a physical education teacher and coach at Ross High School. Hudson highlighted the upcoming second season of the golf team, which is open to students in grades 7 through 12, and encouraged parents to enroll their children. He also announced the Britney Golf Academy, set to run from July 8 to July 26, providing free equipment and meals for participants.
Parents and students praised Hudson's dedication, noting his year-round commitment to coaching and the positive impact he has had on young athletes, particularly those with special needs. Carla Maya shared her gratitude for Hudson's support of her daughter, who has epilepsy and found golf to be a safe sport for her to participate in. Other parents echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing the growth and achievements their children have experienced under Hudson's guidance.
In addition to the golf program discussions, the meeting also addressed community concerns regarding the acquisition of a former church building. A resident inquired about the purchase details, including costs and future plans for the site. The board confirmed that the building was purchased for approximately $1.4 million and is not currently undergoing any court processes.
The meeting concluded with a heartfelt acknowledgment of the contributions of coaches Herrera and Green, who have significantly impacted student-athletes, including one parent whose son received a full athletic scholarship due to their mentorship. The community's support for these educators underscores the importance of dedicated coaching in fostering student success in Brentwood.
