On top of having a incredible regular season for the Tigers, Grant did what all great players must do and step up when it matters most– the postseason. In the Regional Semifinal game against Holland Christian, Grant scored 23 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, dished out 3 assists, nabbed 3 steals, and hit 3 3-pointers in the tigers 70-62 win. He followed that up with a 21 point, 5 rebound, 4 assist, and 2 steal performance in a 76-58 victory of Edwardsburg to secure the Tigers’ Regional Championship. Though you may not notice it while he’s dominating on the court, but Grant has been working though an enormous amount of mental health hurdles as he has had to overcome the passing of both of his Father and Grandmother within the past 15 months.
