THE HEART OF THE BRAVES
KINSMAN OH- In the heart of Badger’s resurgence as a basketball program stands senior standout Katie Grexa, whose impact transcends the court. Grexa has been a driving force behind the team’s resurgence, embodying leadership, skill, and an unwavering love for the game.
Grexa’s passion for basketball is palpable, extending beyond the court to her dedication to learning, playing, and watching the game. Her genuine love for the sport has not only fueled her individual success but has become an infectious spirit, influencing her teammates and contributing to the Braves’ collective success.
What sets Grexa apart is not just her prowess as a player but her ability to be an extra coach for the team. Her insights and understanding of the game give her the authority to halt practices when adjustments are needed.

Maintaining an unbelievable standard for herself, Grexa sets the bar high, pushing not only for personal excellence but also inspiring those around her to elevate their game. Her commitment to excellence is a testament to her character and the impact she has on the team’s culture.

A significant pillar in Grexa’s journey has been her relationship with coach LaVell Turnage. While Turnage transitioned to coach Ursuline this season, his influence remains a cornerstone of Grexa’s success. Their bond transcends coaching changes, highlighting the enduring impact of mentorship and support in shaping a player’s trajectory. Grexa’s story is not just about basketball; it’s a testament to leadership, commitment, and the enduring impact of genuine passion for the game.
