West Ashley's Shell has the size and the pedigree for success

Sometimes it's not easy being Brandon Shell. Shell is a 6-8, 280-pound sophomore at West Ashley High School.

He also plays basketball, and that's when the not-so-easy part comes into play. "When the game starts, you get up and down the court four or five times, and that's when it starts hanging on you," said Shell, the nephew of Pro Football Hall of Famer Art Shell. "You can't wait for a sub to come in for you."
