January 29th, 2008
On Philadelphia’s Channel 6 Action News, footage of Brad (aka B-Rad) Hennefer sinking the final shot of a varsity basketball game for New Jersey’s Cherry Hill East High School. Brad is believed to be the only person with Down syndrome in the country to earn a varsity letter in two sports, basketball and golf. Now a senior, he has played basketball all four years.
After he graduates this year, Brad is planning to go to Camden County College to study business and computers.
The rumor du jour: Brad will be featured on ABC’s Good Morning America tomorrow.
