Athletic Hall of Fame
On June 29, 2019, Craig Brackins '07 was inducted into the Athletic Hall of Fame. In introducing Craig Brackins, Matt Lawlor revealed that Craig came to Brewster from Los Angeles for his senior year in the fall of 2006. He led the team to the NEPSAC Finals averaging 18 points and 9 rebounds, won 1st Team All-NEPSAC selection, and was a top 20 recruited player in the Class of 2007. Brackins attended Iowa State where he started all 32 games as a freshman and earned All American from the Associated Press and only the third player in ISU history with over 1,500 points and 700 rebounds through his three seasons there. Craig was the 21st pick in the NBA draft and became the first first-round player from Brewster to be selected in the draft by the Oklahoma City Thunder. He has continued his professional career in Europe and Asia where he currently plays for the Nagoya Diamond Dolphins. Craig appreciates the opportunity he has had to live in diverse places and be embraced by the people of varied cultures. He credits his one year at Brewster for providing a platform for that openness.
