03 Feb 2024 Grant Mitchell – Faulkner County Falcons (501 Basketball Team 2024)

Faulkner County Falcons senior point guard Grant Mitchell may not be the biggest player on the court, but he has never let a challenge stop him from achieving his goals.

“Grant aspires to become a collegiate athlete,” Faulkner County Head Coach Brad Rusher said. “On off days, you can find Grant at the gym working to improve his game and watching our livestream to see what he can do better. I have no doubt he will succeed if he continues to pursue this dream.”

Averaging 18 points per game his junior season, Mitchell earned MVP honors last year and is projected to be a dominating force on the homeschool basketball circuit this season.

“Grant is a hard-working young man with integrity,” Rusher said. “On the court, his best qualities are his court vision, perimeter shooting, defense, assists and rebounding. He does an excellent job facilitating plays and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates.”

Selected as team captain this season, the three-time All-State and All-Conference honoree is committed to propelling his team to the top this season.

“As a team, we want to win all our major tournaments: state, district, regionals and nationals,” Mitchell said. “I think we will achieve it by playing smart and keeping good chemistry.”

A leader by example, Mitchell has set the tempo for a bright future. “Grant strives to do his best on and off the court,” Rusher said. “He encourages others to become the best version of themselves and has been a joy to coach over the years.”
