Grellner and Brauchs eleven year friendship

N5-Friendships (1)

A Bond Formed On The Field
Juniors Charlie Brauch and Devin Grellner’s friendship
formed 11 years ago in Debby Ridenhower’s kindergarten
class at Harvest Ridge Elementary School. Brauch and
Grellner’s friendship emerged because of similar interests
between the two students.
“Well he likes baseball like me,” said Grellner. “It’s the
similar activities.”
Because of the mutual passion for baseball that Grellner
and Brauch share, their friendship grew from there. After
discovering they both shared a love for the Cardinals,
their friendship really sparked. They talked about baseball,
and then in 2nd grade they both played on a team called the
Eagles. They stayed on this team until they were in 5th grade.
Now they both play on the JV Boys’ Baseball team.
“We started to play baseball and we’ve played ever since,”
Brauch said.
Friendships with others can become strained because of
challenging classes in school, work, other relationships with
family members, or other friends, but for Grellner and Brauch
that is not the case. Grellner wants to go to Rolla for an
engineering course and Brauch wants to go to Truman for
business, as well as continue his baseball career. Even though
they plan to go to different colleges, they will keep in touch..
“He’s like a brother to me and I will talk to him till the day I
die,” Brauch said.
