Brianna Bradford's high school basketball career ended with a standing ovation Tuesday night during Reservoir's winter sports banquet.

The senior, who scored more than 1,500 points during her four varsity seasons, was honored by coaches and athletes from four different sports together with school administrators who applauded raucously when girls varsity coach Suzanne Hughes announced the retirement of her No. 10 jersey.

Before that announcement, Bradford was presented with Reservoir's first Legacy Award in honor of her basketball achievements. She set school records (boys and girls) in scoring (1,537 points), assists (337) and steals (292).  She is also Reservoir's first McDonald's All American nominee and the school's first Division I girls basketball player.  She will play for the University of Pennsylvania next year.

During the presentation, Hughes quoted from a Pennsylvania newspaper in which the coach from Upper Merion (Pa.) called Bradford "the fastest person on the planet."  (Reservoir played Upper Merion during a holiday tournament and Bradford scored 29 points in that game.)

A banner will hang in Reservoir's gym with Bradford's picture, name, and accomplishments.  Her jersey will be framed and also will hang in the school.
