The senior hoops hero gave a closing performance that will be remembered forever. Bradford, the Indians’ leading scorer with a 20.1 points per game average and First Team All Henlopen Conference honoree, led a courageous comeback attempt that fell just short in an 64-59 second round loss at Howard Vo Tech in Wilmington on March 2. In rallying the Indians from a 48-29 deficit at the end of three quarters to within three points of the Wildcats, Bradford scored 27 of his game-high 35 points in the furious fourth stanza. He came within six points of the single-game career-high 41 he put up in the season’s second game, an 82-75 victory at Arcadia (Va.) on Dec. 8.
