After Ty Rodgers helped us secure a banner this year, apparently UConn Head Coach Dan Hurley wanted to make sure Ty is aware that they have their share of banners too!

RJ Taylor has put together the following Mr. Basketball résumé:
-State champion
-MHSAA Championship Game record-holder (7 threes)
-SVL MVP
-14-1 postseason record
-Grand Blanc’s all-time leader in points AND assists
-An eye-popping 6.4:1 🔥 Assist:Turnover ratio this year
(1/2) Ty Rodgers had such a good time winning a state championship in East Lansing back in April that he figured he should head back there! Tuesday, he did just that, on an unofficial visit to MSU.
Talk about a happy birthday...

We’re excited to announce Doreace Martin as our new Head Coach! Doreace has been on our staff since 2017, and has been a vital part of our unprecedented success over the last three years especially. He is an alum of Northwood & Flint Northern, having played basketball at both.
University of Notre Dame head coach Mike Brey had this to say about new Grand Blanc coach,
@ToryJ23
: “Tory is like a son to me. The positive energy that flows off of him is contagious. He is truly an educator and a fierce competitor. I would want my son to play for Tory Jackson.”

Last spring, when
@GB__Baseball
went to East Lansing, they ended up on SportsCenter. Only fitting that when we similarly commemorated our trip there today, it would be a guy who’s also a baseball player who made it happen! Way to go, Bryce!
