SINCE joining the Niagara College Knights men’s basketball team, Delroy Grandison has been making a name for himself.

Grandison, the 19-year-old former student of Noble Preparatory Academy, competed against 90 other international students to win one of two available positions on the team.

Tenero Ferguson, also in his freshman year after he completed his studies at Noble Preparatory Academy, attempted to make the team as well, but fell short.

The high flying six-foot, three-inch forward played in his first scrimmage game against Brock University where he came through with the first dunk in the game.

However, the Knights lost 85-77 to the Badgers. Grandison, a welding techniques major, played in another scrimmage against the Centennial Colts on Wednesday night when they won 99-82.

The Knights are slated to play their third game tonight in the St Lawrence Invitational. However, their regular season won’t begin until October 21.

Grandison was a key factor in the Noble Preparatory Academy, headed by Geno Bullard. He was also one of the top players in Bullard’s No Bull Basketball Club that won numerous tournaments in the Bahamas and Cuba before he eventually secured an athletic scholarship to Niagara College.
