‘The strongest kid I know’: Cheltenham’s Corey Bradley has a moment to cherish after the murder of his mother
He was due to be Cheltenham High School’s fourth batter in the bottom of the seventh inning on May 6, in a game against Upper Moreland that had been rained out and rescheduled and that, through its first six-and-a-half frames, was still scoreless.
“I would tell her about friendship problems or even great things between friends,” he said, “and she was all ears. She wanted the best for us.” Upper Moreland’s coaches were having their pitcher walk Copp intentionally. “You know why they’re doing it,” Corey said. It was the baseball-smart move to make, to set up a force play at every base, but it motivated him nonetheless. He took it as a sign of disrespect, as if they were unafraid to face him in an important situation.
“Every night, you’re on edge,” he said. “When I was going to her house, I always had my head over my shoulder. I can’t imagine what she was going through. She put up with it to protect us.” He was gone from school, from the team; for how long, no one knew. How does one even ask that question?A week later, the Panthers had a game at Abington, their primary rival. Players from those schools and those teams grow up together and live in nearby neighborhoods. Corey knew that some of Elizabeth’s friends, some of his friends, would be there.
