PORTERSVILLE — Stephan Graham is a one-man wrecking crew when it comes to the Portersville Christian basketball record book.

The 6-foot-3 senior guard-forward will leave the Warriors with the program’s career points, rebounds and steals marks secured deeply in his back pocket.

“He’s put all of those records away a while ago,” Portersville Christian coach Paul Harbison said.

Graham, a fifth-year varsity player and a Prospect resident, has scored 2,420 points at PCS. He’s compiled 1,400 rebounds and 420 steals.

The previous boys basketball scorting record was 1,600 by Jordan Harbison. Abby Moose, who went on to score 1,000 points at Grove City College, scored 2,200 at PCS for the girls record.

“Our league hasn’t been very good this year, so I’ve come out of a lot of games early,” Graham said. “I’m a competitive person and I enjoy playing, but not to embarrass anybody.”

The Warriors are 26-9 this season. They play in the Southwest Christian Athletic Conference (SWCAC) and have played a few public schools this season.

Graham has a brother, Joel, who is six years older. He played a couple of seasons at PCS and averaged 12 points per game his senior year.

“Stephan just has natural talent. He’s very gifted in basketball,” Joel Graham said. “He puts the hours in for practice, that’s for sure.

“If he wasn’t taken out of so many games early, it’s hard to say where his point total would be.”

As it is, Graham is averaging 24 points per game as the playoffs approach. The Warriors will play in another tournament following the playoffs.

Coach Harbison said Graham reminds him of former North Carolina standout Tyler Hansbrough with his work ethic on and off the court.

“Hansbrough was called Psycho by his teammates. That’s sort of how Stephan is,” Harbison said. “He just never quits, in practice or a game.

“He’ll dive into the bleachers trying to get a steal during a practice session. He wants every rebound, every steal. He plays every game like we’re playing for the national championship. The kid is just driven.”

Harbison added that when he puts his players through six suicide sprints, Graham does eight. When he has them run up and down stairs eight times,. Graham will do it a few more times.

“Even if I have someone do push-ups for whatever reason, Stephan will go over and do the push-ups with him,” the coach marveled. “His work ethic is off the charts. He’s always so locked in, seemingly in his own universe at times.”

Graham plans to continue his academic and basketball career at Cedarville College, a Division III school near Dayton, Ohio. He carries a 4.1 grade point average as well.

He played soccer for two years at PCS, but gave that sport up his sophomore year.

“I wanted to concentrate on basketball,” he said. “My hopes were to play in college. There’s a lot of basketball tradition in my family.”

Graham’s father played basketball in high school in Michigan. His grandfather played college ball at Central Michigan.

Graham also considered Messiah and Malone before opting for Cedarville. He plans to major in physical education.

“I wanted to go to a good, competitive team and experience the game at a higher level,” he said.

Harbison has no doubt he will.

“Stephan has the natural ability and he pushes himself to maximize that ability,” his coach said. “He spends hours working out on his own, does two workouts a day, has developed a 34-inch vertical leap as a result.

“I’ve never seen anybody like him.”
