Brad Bambrick is a lethal component to the weapon that is the Holy Heart of Mary High Highlanders. Brad contributes along side of a great team, night in and night out with astounding numbers. He has become an unstoppable force this season with his back to the basket play in the low post. His grit and toughness on the hardwood is what every coach asks for in a big man.

He has excelled with the Holy Heart team since his freshman year in 06/07, when Holy Heart wound up winning the 4A Provincial Championship. Brad was also a key player in the 07/08 Highlanders lineup which

consisted of such players as Sean Murphy, Justin Walsh and Matthew Cleary; a team that went on to win the Elite 8 Championship that year.This year, Bambrick’s last season, he looks to lead a highly skilled Holy Heart team to an Elite 8 title and a 4A Championship. If Brad’s excellent play continues, it just may happen.

What differentiates Bambrick from the rest? It is his consistency. The Highlanders have relied on Brad for at least 19 points per game and quite consistetly scoring 30 points per game. There are even times where he has taken his game to another level, scoring over 40 points. In doing this, he has left everyone in awe. Such much so, he has even drawn favorable feedback from rival team members, who have stated, “Bambrick is just simply unstoppable”
