Middle School Football Player Towers Over All Others

The middle School in Ellensburg Washington has a secret weapon that towers over any other team. Brenden Adams is their secret weapon.... his special power; he hold the Guiness Book record for being the tallest teenage boy. He measures in at a whopping 7'4"!
When Adams was born he started out as a normal boy measuring just over 19" then as he got older he got much taller; at 5 months Brenden had all his teeth and gained 14 pounds, at 5 he was 4'5" and now at 14 he is 7'4". Now you might be thinking he must be an incredible athlete but in all honesty his height comes with alot of medical downfalls. At 14 he already has arthritis, cant run, and gets winded easy. Adams might not be the star player or even take the field that often, but when he does it makes him feel like a regular teenage kid and that is important to him.
