08 Feb 2023 Greyson Ealy – Quitman (501 Basketball Team 2023)

It would be easy to believe that basketball is in Greyson Ealy’s DNA. 

“My dad played ball in college, and growing up I always tried to be exactly like him, so I’ve been playing almost all my life,” Ealy said. “Growing up our whole street would meet at somebody’s house, and we would just hoop. It’s probably one of my best memories because of how it made us so close. Ever since I was little, I always looked up to my older cousin Jahcoree and some of his teammates like Josh Ballard and Wyatt Spires. I always just thought it was so cool, the stuff they could do and the things they accomplished.” 

An injury marred the end of Ealy’s sophomore season a year ago, but the future is bright for him and the Quitman Bulldogs. 

“He is the most athletic player on our team, and oftentimes in the entire gym,” said Quitman Head Coach Brandon Burgener. “He is explosive and always make a big play for us when we need it. He has grown and added muscle. His basketball IQ and skillset have both grown, and he has settled into more of a leadership role.

“Greyson will always admit his mistakes before they can be pointed out by our coaching staff. His accountability level is high. He’s not afraid to be a leader and do hard things like hold teammates accountable. His effort and intensity levels are always high, so he gets others to play hard and with emotion.”
