Jimmy Braddock Still Hearing Cheers On The Court
Posted May 6, 2009
Thirty years after completing a memorable career as a star basketball player at Baylor School, Jimmy Braddock is still being cheered on the court – as a coach. He recently completed his 12th season as the head coach at the Hammond School in Columbia, S.C., where former Baylor headmaster Herb Barks Jr. also served as headmaster until his retirement in 2006. During that time, Braddock has led his team to eight region championships.
