Brad Reckart
Brad Reckart played for Miami Hamilton Basketball from 1996–2000. Even with our early record books not being the most accurate, everyone believes he is the all-time leading Men’s Basketball scorer Hamilton Campus history. There was no official tracking of this, but there was even talk that he scored more points than anyone in the history of the ORCC during his tenure here. What we do know for sure is that Brad was 3-time ORCC player (1997–2000) of the year and was first all-ORCC team all 4 years.
As his coach Kevin Lakes, says, “Brad was not only a very talented player but he was intelligent and very competitive. Brad completely ran the team on the court and was a great influence off the court as well. He was the heart and soul of our team for the three years I was the coach.” During Coach Lakes’s tenure Brad lead the team to 3 consecutive ORCC league championships, and 2 state titles.
Brad was the state tournament’s Most Valuable Player two years in a row. In 1999 he received the honors for his 29 points in the Championship game and in 2000 he bested his own record to earn the honors with 34 points in the Championship game. The team had an overall record of 96-29 the years that he played and he had 2,759 career points, with 531 of those coming from 3-pointers.
