North Penn High School, 1987

Brad is truly honored to become part of the North Penn Athletic Hall of Fame. Brad’s love of sports began at age five when he played soccer for the North Penn Boys Club Team, and continued with his playing baseball with Hatfield Little League. At NPHS Brad earned 8 varsity letters, 3 soccer (Captain), 3 football, and 2 in baseball. In the fall of 1985 Brad became the first soccer player who doubled as a kicker for the high school football team. Playing two sports in one season was demanding but also very exciting. The opportunity to contribute as a sophomore came quicker than expected. His 34yd field goal vs. Neshaminy to win 10-7 launched his kicking career. His love for soccer continued, but his passion for kicking exploded. Brad attended many kicking camps to improve his skills; winning the Top Kicker Award at Ray Pelfrey’s Kicking Camp in 1986. He was selected MVP of the 1986 Soccer team. In 1986 he received WNPV Most Outstanding Junior Athlete Award and in 1987 the Genuardi Sports Award for the Most Outstanding Senior Male Athlete. Brad would like to thank the coaches who motivated him during his NPHS days: Coach Jim Wilde, Bill Travers, Dave Rittenhouse, Dave Decker and Dr. Jim Gallagher CBEHS (kicking coach)

Brad’s kicking career continued with a full scholarship to West Virginia University. As a sophomore he handled kick-offs, and as a junior he handled all kicking duties. His teams competed in the Sun Bowl, the Gator Bowl, and the Fiesta Bowl vs Notre Dame for the National Championship in 1989. Brad earned the Scott Shirley Special Teams Player of the Year Award in 1989, leading the team in scoring. He was also pre- sented with the Mountaineer Award, the highest award given to a student athlete and the Athletic Director’s Academic Honor Roll Award.
He graduated from WVU with a BS in Health& Physical Education in 1992 and a MS in Sports Administration from West Chester University in 2004. Brad has been an elementary physical education teacher in the North Penn School District for 23 years. He is extremely proud of his involvement and the success of the IRON Knights Triathlon which is put on by the Elementary Physical Education Department.

Brad continues to coach and instruct kickers in the area. He lives in Harleysville, PA with his wife, Rhonda (Hunsberger) and their three daughters, Mackenzie, Payton, and Avery.
