Starting forward for the Cheney High School varsity basketball team, Luke Grace is the All Seasons Letterman of the Month.
Grace averaged 16 points a game last season and was named to the All-League team as a junior. He was also named All-State Honorable Mention. Today, Grace is a 6-foot-3 senior and is looking to help his team and teammates make this a season they will never forget.
“What I love most about this team and my teammates is how close we are as a group,” said Grace. “I am most excited about having a large class of seniors returning to the court.”
Head coach Linndy Frieden my list Grace as a forward but expect to see him at center and spending most of his time in the paint.
Grace is a three-sport student-athlete at Cheney High School playing football in the fall, basketball in the winter and participating in track and field during the spring. This season Grace has a chance to crest the 1,000-point mark for his career and ensuring his spot in the history books for Cheney High School. Teammate Harrison Voth has the opportunity to do the same thing this year.
“As a senior, I want to go out and set a good example on the court,” said Grace.
Once his playing days at Cheney come to an end, the next step is still a question. Grace admits he is unsure right now what direction he takes after high school. He did say that his father has been a big influence on him because of his work ethic. Whatever Grace decides to do after high school, you can bet that work ethic from his father is instilled in him and will help Grace find a way to be successful with whatever comes next.
