In a vote of his teammates, Cole was named one of two co-captains for the South Middle School Eighth grade basketball team. We are pretty proud of him being recognized by his teammates. He isn't very vocal, but he plays hard and is a great leader by example. The season starts the first week of January.

All-State Honors For Brad

Brad All-State Honors

He was the only junior on the first, second or third teams by the Wichita Eagle and the only junior on the TCJ's first or second team (a junior made their third team).
