Bryon Graven
(March 2003)


Parents - Doug & Debbie

A four year starter in basketball for Auburn, Bryon Graven epitomizes hard work, dedication, and leadership. In his senior year, Graven lead the Trojans to their first ever Class A State Tournament appearance as the Trojans tied a school record for wins in a season at 26. In numerous games in Auburn's post season run, Bryon made the crucial offensive rebound or last second free-throw to preserve the win.

Simply put, Bryon Graven is CLUTCH!

Being a coach's son is not the easiest job for a point guard, but Graven excelled at being another coach on the floor. Bryon was always seen talking to his Auburn teammates during key moments of the game, encouraging hustle and aggressiveness by example.  He always seemed harder on himself than even his dad was when he made a mistake. Without missing a beat, he then went all out to make up for that mistake and help his team win. Besides being the floor general, Bryon lead the Trojans in scoring, rebounding, and assists.

He's garnered enough awards this season to fill an entire trophy room, but for the hotly contested IllinoisHighSchoolSports.com March Athlete of the Month award that came down to the wire..........Bryon did what he does best........he took over down the stretch and nailed the game winner.
Congratulations! Bryon will recieve a IHSS Athlete of the Month T-shirt!
