Brody Ross is a student-athlete at Chickasha High School. He says that it is about more than just playing sports; it’s about giving his all, pushing his limits, and representing his community with pride. A senior who competes in both basketball and baseball, Brody’s drive comes from a simple but powerful motivation: “Trying to win,” he said. That competitive spirit fuels his dedication both on the field and on the court.
Brody credits his father as his biggest influence and role model. “He always pushes me to be the best player I can be,” Brody said. That encouragement has helped him develop not only his athletic skills but also the mindset needed to succeed in high-level competition. Alongside family, Brody finds support in the classroom. His favorite teacher, Mrs. Jansen, is someone he admires for her positivity and ability to brighten his day, making the school experience just as meaningful as athletics.
Success, Brody says, doesn’t come without effort. “It has taken a lot of extra reps and hard work outside of practice,” he explained. That dedication has paid off in memorable moments, including one of the highlights of his career: beating Bridge Creek in the district championship, a game that showcased his skill, focus, and determination under pressure.
Practices are where Brody hones his craft, and he enjoys competing alongside teammates who challenge him. JK Vaness stands out as someone who pushes Brody to improve every session, creating a healthy rivalry that benefits both players. Outside of sports, Brody balances his academics and athletics through careful planning and time management, ensuring he meets the demands of both without compromise.
Above all, representing Chickasha High School and his community means everything to Brody. “I love representing Chickasha, and I love playing for my community,” he said. Whether on the court or the field, Brody Ross embodies the work ethic, leadership, and pride that define a true student-athlete. His commitment to excellence, both in sports and in life, makes him a standout not just for his talents but for the character he brings to every team and every game.
