Newcastle resident Bradley Strode stands for the national anthem alongside his Eastside Catholic High School lacrosse team.
Newcastle resident Bradley Strode was named to U.S. Lacrosse’s Academic All-American team for his 3.98 grade point average.
Strode, a defenseman on the Eastside Catholic lacrosse team, was a salutatorian and served as a leadership officer all four years, including in the roles of junior and senior class president.
A two-sport student athlete for the Crusaders, Strode lettered all four years in wrestling, advanced to the state wrestling tournament as a sophomore and was a state-tournament alternate as a senior. In lacrosse, the defender suited up for 14 games this spring, helping the Crusaders to an undefeated season.
Passionate about giving back, Strode volunteers for Athletes for Kids, a community-based service group that pairs prep student-athletes with special-needs children in the state. Strode will attend the University of Southern California in the fall as a Trustee Scholar. He is the third generation of his family to “fight on” at USC.
