Graymont Grade School fielded a number of very good boys junior high basketball teams in the late 1980s. Under the direction of head coach Tom Meling, the Warriors won Arrow Conference titles in 1987-88, 1988–89 and 1989-90. The 1988-89 team was the greatest in school history. Despite an eighth grade class of six students, the Warriors finished as Livingston County Runner-Ups, Arrow Conference Champions, 1A Regional Champions, 1A Sectional Champions and they advanced to the Elite Eight in State.[3] The starting five on that team comprised Mike Cushing, Matt DeWald, Roger Bedeker, Seth Sarakaitis and Wade Ahrens. The Elite Eight banner still resides in the cafeteria/gym at the school.
