Jennie Bradford was the first coach in school history in women’s basketball and volleyball, and she led both teams to their most successful stretches in school history.  She is still CBU’s leader in career wins in both sports.  In volleyball, Bradford posted a 174-54 record from 1976 to 1983.  She led the Lady Bucs to eight straight winning records, five straight VSAC championships, four straight bi-district championships, and three straight appearances in the NAIA National Tournament.  In basketball, she went 112-74, posting five straight winning seasons for the only time in school history.  She had two 20-win seasons, including a 23-3 mark and a VSAC West championship in 1982-83.

Michele Bradley played volleyball and basketball from 1984 to 1987.  She was an All-American in volleyball, and she still holds the school single-season record for hitting percentage.  She led the Lady Bucs to three conference championships and a Bi-District 24 championship.

Mike Broderick was one of the best big men in CBU basketball history from 1981 to 1985.  Broderick ranks fourth in the CBU record books with 1,813 points and 813 rebounds.  At the time of his graduation, he ranked second in scoring and third in rebounding.  Broderick led the Bucs to back-to-back 20-win seasons, including a 25-10 mark and a VSAC Championship as a senior.  The 25-win season is tied for the most wins in school history.

Brother Cy Conroy was an instrumental part of building the foundation for CBU athletics as he served as the school’s director of special projects from 1972 until his death in 1993.  Brother Cy, who served as a Brother for 29 years, built offices and locker rooms for the CBU athletics department as well as the schools’ tennis courts, racquetball courts, and dugouts for the baseball field.  He was also actively involved in fundraising for the athletics department.

Randy Engel starred in basketball from 1991 to 1995.  His 1,868 points rank third in school history.  His senior season ranks fourth in CBU history in points and points per game.  He ranks fourth in career free throw percentage, fifth in field goal percentage, and sixth in rebounds.

Earl Gillespie was an integral part of the early years of CBU athletics.  He played basketball from 1962 to 1965, scoring 788 points, including averaging 18.3 ppg as a senior.  After graduating, he moved to the bench, serving as assistant coach for three years.  He spent three years as head baseball coach, compiling a 66-31 record, including a 38-12 mark in 1970, the best record in school history.  While he was head coach, Gillespie built Buc Field, which has been the home of CBU baseball for 40 years.
