Daily News | Not just Brett Brown’s son, Sam Brown wins big at Lower Merion
December 2019, Sam Brown’s high school basketball debut, and who knows? Maybe the public-address announcer thought it would be a hoot. Lower Merion vs. Abington in the Fred Pickett Classic at Chester High School, and the voice was so smooth, the delivery so straight and free of embellishment, that maybe the public-address announcer just thought, with all good faith, that he should note the noteworthy.
Sam Brown has a best friend, Cam Gordon, whom he has known since fourth grade, who is a boys’ basketball team manager, who frequently joins the Browns for dinner. Sam Brown aspires to play in the Olympics someday for the Australian national team, and it is not a pipe dream. “He has the potential to wear the green and gold in the future, no doubt,” said Peter Lonergan, the national program’s director of performance.
“I’m really glad that happened,” he said. “It was a developmental time where you have to reflect, ‘How can I handle something like that and not be fazed by it?’ It was a compliment to me in some ways that they thought I was worth chanting at. At some point, you realize there are worse things in life than being yelled at by random people you don’t know.”Besides, as it turned out, he had to put up with that pressure for only so long at Lower Merion, for just 28 games in his ninth-grade year.
The why of things mattered to him. Grugan, in his 16th year as a math teacher at Lower Merion, saw it during basketball practice and in the two courses in which Sam was one of his students: honors pre-calculus and advanced-placement calculus. Sam earned A’s in both, an achievement he regarded as comparable to anything he has accomplished related to basketball, given Grugan’s standards. “You don’t want him as a teacher,” he said. “He is brutal.
