For Brock Riley, it’s been a long but worthwhile journey in baseball
"We definitely had hardships and difficulties as any other family but we always stuck together," said Brock Riley. "I had a good childhood with my cousins' and uncle living next to me. My uncle helped raise me and my sister along with my two cousins. It was fun living in a such a diverse community where I had so many friends."
When it came to sports, Riley started playing baseball when he was three. He played wiffle ball with his cousins from sun up to sun down.
When little league baseball began, Riley continued to flourish. Then, by the time Riley reached middle school, he was a three-sport athlete, running cross country, wrestling and playing basketball.
Overcoming a Slump
While attending Lowell High School, Brock Riley added another two sports to his repertoire. He played four years of varsity football and ran indoor track. His indoor track team even won a Division I state championship Riley's sophomore year. But it was still baseball that became his main success.
Riley's Red Raiders reached the Massachusetts Super 8 Baseball Tournament his sophomore year, too. That year, Lowell won a conference title and Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association North Division Championship before losing in the state playoff semi-finals.
