TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: High School Athlete Saves Girl

A varsity football player in south Georgia is being called a hero for pulling a teenage girl from a car fire.

A high school football player from south Georgia is being recognized as a hero for saving a fellow teenager from a burning car. Brock Bailey, a high school junior at Lowndes County High School in Valdosta, rushed to help when he heard a car accident nearby.

He and another man ran to the scene and put their own safety aside to rescue her. The driver, Elizabeth Eldridge, is a high school senior and was unable to open her car door after the wreck. Despite the flames, Brock worked to get that door open and pull her to safety, saving her life.

The girl’s mother, Joy, says when she arrived at the accident, “Brock remained attentive to both my daughter and me and was a calming presence during a very stressful time.” She adds that she’s glad his heroism is being recognized because “2020 desperately needs some positivity!”
