Xavier Grant
Senior, Marathon
Basketball
“Xavier is a strong point guard who gets our offense clicking. His numbers are two and three times what he had all last season and we still have two-thirds of the season to go.” – Jim Murphy, Fins head coach
Marathon’s basketball team is quickly becoming the little engine that could. Almost always the underdogs, the Fins have been willing themselves into contention with grit and scrappy play. Helping to lead the way is senior point guard Xavier Grant. Grant helps put a spark into the Dolphins’ offense and plays relentless defense as well.
“Xavier excels at attacking the basket and confusing defenses. He is a strong senior leader for our team,” said coach Jim Murphy. So far this season, Grant has scored 133 points, earned 26 assists and pulled down 44 rebounds, and he is just getting started. For his determination, strong leadership and fierce style of play, Marathon’s Xavier Grant is the Keys Weekly Athlete of the Week.
