L15 Michael Braddock

Michael Braddock…the only thing I can say about him is that he was a royal pain in the @$$!

The Backstory

Michael excelled at the H.S. level by scoring 24.3ppg while being a dominate defender (1.9spg) and distributor (2.1/0.9 ast/to). Michael also excelled in the classroom with a 3.7 GPA and an outstanding score of 66 on the Exam…very calculating and always looking 1 to 2 steps ahead.

With such a talent you would think that scouts would have been all over this player but he was only F- scouted. Having said that, the scouts had this guy at the top of the H.S. level giving him the ratings of E+,E-,E+,F-,E-. A true talent that could take a team to the next level! Most teams liked Michael’s talents but he maintained his desire to play for a perennially winning team (E-), which kept most teams and coaches at bay.

Three teams joined the recruiting battle for Michael, Casper, Durham and Fort Worth. Casper and Durham were wining programs and had been the previous 2 NTT winning teams and were expecting to battle for the prized recruit. Michael snubbed the two winning programs and committed to Fort Worth, that had just completed a 10-14 season, shocking the DTL world and creating conspiracy in the recruiting practices of coach parachute2.

Fort Worth

Instantly Michael Braddock made an impact bringing the 10-14 team to 17-7 and 3rd place in a very competitive C25 and carrying Fort Worth to the C25 Tournament Championship but lost to the jilted Casper Hania. Michael also carried Fort Worth to the NTT in his freshman season for the first time under coach parachute2, only to lose in the 1st round.

In his sophomore season he brought Fort Worth to national prominence winning C25 regular season with another 17-7 record, but again Fort Worth stumbled by not making the C25 Tournament Championship game and another 1st round loss in the NTT.

As a junior, it appeared that Fort Worth had fallen back in the pack and put up a mediocre 15-9 record. The post-season was even worse as they went 1-2 in the C25 Tournament and a second round loss in the PTT.

Michael began his senior season looking at his future and his decision to commit to Fort Worth. He started the season with very modest stats and had losses to Casper and an up-and-coming Lubbock Fury, and their prized young coach stormfury. Needless to say, the loss to Lubbock changed Michael and the Fort Worth Trashy Awesomes did not lose another game is S67, winning the NTT tournament beating the Birmingham Jail 79-77 in the final.
