Winston Grays III Named Benedictine High School Head Basketball Coach
Benedictine is proud to announce the hiring of Winston Grays III as the new head coach of the basketball program. A 2012 graduate of Benedictine, Grays returns to lead the team he once proudly played for, bringing his experience both on and off the court.
After graduating from Benedictine, Grays went on to play collegiate basketball at Cincinnati State & James Madison University, where he was known for his work ethic and leadership. Following college, he continued his basketball career overseas, gaining valuable international playing experience and further deepening his understanding of the game.
Most recently, Grays served as an assistant coach at St. Ignatius High School, having also spent time coaching at Benedictine, Euclid, and Spire. He is currently the Assistant Director of the Ohio Basketball Club (OBC). His dedication to mentoring young athletes and cultivating a competitive, disciplined environment makes him an ideal fit for Benedictine’s tradition-rich basketball program.
“We are thrilled to welcome Coach Grays back to Benedictine,” said John Carter, Athletic Director. “As an alumnus, he understands the values and expectations that come with wearing a Benedictine jersey. We believe his vision, experience, and passion for the game will elevate our program to new heights.”
Coach Grays expressed excitement about returning to his alma mater: “Benedictine has always been a special place to me and it’s HOME. I’m honored and grateful for the opportunity to give back to a community that helped shape who I am. I look forward to working with our student-athletes and building something special together.”
Coach Grays will begin his new role immediately in preparation for the upcoming season with a player’s meeting on Tuesday, April 22nd at 3:00pm.
