Trotwood’s Graham (of those Grahams) providing energy
Trotwood-Madison boys basketball coach Mark Baker was already nodding before I finished the question.
I was saying we had talked plenty this season about guards DaWuan Thomas and Darnell Tubbs, and rightfully so. Both have been two of the most electric players in the area this season, with Thomas’ great basketball IQ and Tubbs’ great athleticism.
But, is there a player for the Rams who most affects the game without scoring?
Baker was ready.
“Marcus Graham, definitely,” Baker said of the starting guard who doubles as the school’s starting quarterback. “He works hard, and he does anything you ask of him. He’s ready to practice every day, and he can score. He just chooses not to so he can help the team.”
Graham was part of Trotwood’s 74-45 Division I sectional tournament victory against Fairborn on Thursday, March 4, at UD Arena. The Rams (18-4 and No. 2 in the DDN area D-I ratings) burst out early to a 22-7 first-quarter lead, allowed Fairborn to come back and then separated with better defense.
Tubbs finished with 24 points, and Thomas added 14. And, even though he didn’t get to double digits in points, Graham — nephew of former Alter High and Ohio State great Jeff — continued to provide the spark.
