A four-year starter at Jac-Cen-Del High School, Brad Borgman spent the end of the 1990s dazzling fans all across the state of Indiana and leading the Eagles to a 61-25 record in that time. Scoring 242 points in his first year, the most by a freshman in Jac-Cen-Del history, was just the beginning. When it was all said and done for Borgman, his scoring prowess and knack for being a fierce competitor ultimately solidified him a place as one the greatest Eagles of all time.

Leading Jac-Cen-Del to three ORVC Championships and a Ripley County Tournament title in 1999, Borgman would finish his career as the school’s all-time leading scorer, totaling 1711 points, a record that still stands today as does his marks for field goals and three-pointers made. He was a four-time All-ORVC member, three-time All-Sectional pick, two-time Conference MVP, and two-time member of the All-County Tournament Team, one of which was an MVP selection in 1999. In addition to numerous team awards which included Team MVP, Leading Rebounder, Free Throw Award, and Academic Eagle Award, Borgman’s abilities were recognized at the state level beginning his junior year. He would be an honorable mention All-State selection and was a nominee for the Indiana Junior All-Star Team in 1998 which fueled his desire even more a year later. There was no such thing as an honorable mention his senior year. Scoring 529 points that year alone, Borgman made his presence felt and was named to the Indiana All-Star Team that faced Kentucky in the annual All-Star Series. He earned First Team All-State from Hoosier Basketball Magazine, was a North/South All-Star selection, and was a featured All-Star by the Indiana Basketball Coaches Association. His final local recognition would be participating in the 40 and 8 All-Star Game, and being named MVP as part of the Ripley County team.

Borgman would move on the following year to NCAA Division I Eastern Kentucky on a basketball scholarship before transferring to the University of Indianapolis for his sophomore and junior seasons. He would be the team’s second-leading scorer during his sophomore year and several times was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Player of the Week. Borgman would finish his collegiate career at Indiana Southeast and helped lead the Grenadiers to a conference championship and berth in the NAIA National Tournament where he would earn NAIA Regional MVP honors. Brad scored over 1000 points during his time in college basketball.

Borgman now resides in Evergreen, Colorado with his wife Sarah, daughter Ella, and twin boys Tate and Wyatt. He currently serves as the Director of Product Sales at The Motz Group. Brad now joins his dad Tom in the Ripley County Basketball Hall of Fame.
