Miscellaneous Monday -- MONDAY CARDINAL COUPLE

Good Monday morning readers, 

No games on Sunday or Monday means some random coverage can be shared to hold us over.

Softball

With WKU heading to Ulmer stadium on Tuesday evening, it got me thinking about the in state rivalries and the record against those squads.  Louisville is 4-1 against in-state teams and almost winning that one vs UK was very frustrating.

Beat WKU in Bowling Green back on March 25 a month ago 3-2.  Here's some of my favorite shots from Mr. Jared Anderson at Ulmer this season. 

WBB adds KY kid, Peyton Bradley to the roster

 


Head coach Jeff Walz announced today the signing of one of Kentucky's top prep stars, Peyton Bradley of Meade County High School, to the Cardinals 2025 recruiting class.

Bradley, a 5'8 guard from Brandenburg, Kentucky had over 3,000 career points during her high school career. 

As a freshman, Bradley made an immediate impact by leading Meade County to a Girls' Sweet 16 appearance, scoring 23 points and dishing out six assists in her state tournament debut. She led Kentucky in three-point percentage that year and has consistently been among the state's top scorers ever since.   Bradley suffered a torn ACL her junior season, but she returned stronger than ever in her senior campaign. In her final season, she averaged 28.2 points (ranked #2 in state), 5.4 rebounds and 4.6 assists with multiple 30-point performances. Bradley shot 41.6% from 3-point range and ranked second in the state with 114 makes from behind the arc. She holds the Meade County program record for career points and three-pointers made. Her 510 three-pointers made ranks second all-time in Kentucky state basketball history. Bradley was named Courier Journal First Team All-State, the second Louisville signee in the class to receive the honor.



What Walz said...

 "She's a relentless scorer with a high basketball IQ, and what impresses us most is her toughness. She came back from a major injury and somehow elevated her game even further. She fits the culture and competitive mindset we value here at Louisville."

What Bradley said ...

"I've always dreamed of playing at the next level, and Louisville felt like home the minute I stepped on campus," Bradley said. "The program's tradition, the coaching staff's energy, and the way they push their players to grow — it's everything I wanted. I can't wait to compete in the ACC and give it my all."

As Always, 

Go Cards
