Grill will be looking to build on his 11 points, 3 assists, and 3 rebounds per game Junior Year.

The knock down stretch 4/wing player has grown his game this spring showcasing that he has the ability to not only stretch the floor with his shooting ability, but can be crafty off the catch and make plays off the dribble. His expansion and improvement throughout June with Lawrence with be fun to see.

Extremely athletic and a consistent growing skill set at the guard spot, the Hanover lead guard will look to build off of his 18 point, 4 assist, and 3 rebound per game Junior campaign. Can get to the rim at will against the high school opponents and thrives in the transition game. Has good leadership qualities that should get him in the gym this June and have his squad ready to roll.
