Training Camp Insider: Graham

Its basketball team has compiled two straight 20-0 regular seasons. Its wrestling program is one of the nation’s best, having won nine consecutive state championships.

It wasn’t long ago that Graham High School’s football team, too, was a consistent winner. From 1999-2005, its record was 51-21.

But after back-to-back 2-8 seasons, head coach Steve Graves’ contract was not renewed. Nic Black, a Piqua and Wittenberg graduate, was named the new coach in January.

Black immediately started scouting the Graham basketball team to get an idea of what kind of talent he would be inheriting. Several key members of the basketball team — Ethan Ward, Nick VanHoose, Ryan Zook, Casey Crable — will also be major contributors during football season.

“The tradition in the athletic department is something we want to continue,” Black said, “and make sure in the fall we’re representing the school in the same way.”

Logan White, perhaps the team’s most important player in that he was the team’s leading rusher and scorer last season, was a member of the wrestling team. He placed third in the state meet.
