Tennis Anyone?

Bradley had his first tennis match as a member of the South Jr. High Eighth Grade Team. He played three doubles matches with three different partners. They lost their first match 6-1, the second match 6-1 and won the third match 6-0.

In his second match his partner wore jeans (see photo). However, jean boy was usually able to get the ball over the net.

On the right side there is a video from an ESPN piece they did on him. I love his attitude and got a lot out of this. Hopefully you will too.

For those who don't know, he was a three-time All-America basketball player at Oklahoma and then played in the NBA. He is now a bass player and has a lot of albums out.

Baseball Opener

Bradley's baseball team opened its 2009 season playing in a tournament in suburban Kansas City on a cold and windy Friday night. The Rebels posted a 9-0 victory and will continue play Saturday and hopefully Sunday. The Saturday forecast is for 70 degree weather with potential for rain, while Sunday is expected to have snow and be in the 30s.

Bradley started at shortstop and did not get a ball hit to him as the other team only had one hit on the night. At the plate he was two for three, but got on base all three times and scored three runs. He had one solid hit up the middle and then beat out a ball he hit to the first baseman for his other hit.

Golf Course Sign

This sign was in the men's lockerroom at the golf course where we had the U.S. Transplant Games in Pittsburgh, Pa. this past summer. Makes you wonder if there had been problems with this before.

Better Late Than Never

Sure it is March 31, but here is a photo of Bradley from earlier this basketball season. He helped his South Junior High Basketball team finish 14-2 and win the city championship, just like their football team did. Bradley averaged nine points and six rebounds per game.

How cool is Cole wearing Mike's sunglasses?

Bradley Is Driving

In Kansas you can obtain a learner's permit at the age of 14. We waited five months and then Bradley passed his test and is now on the road with Mom or Dad in the car.
