It's been a long time coming for the Buchtel Griffins boy's basketball team, but 2023 is the year the program can call itself state champions for the first time ever.
Over the years, the Griffins have come close. There's been plenty of talent on the team and it's gotten them to the state tournament six times before. They've even made it to the state title game one other time. But the trophy has never come home to Akron with them.
Robinson, who is committed to play basketball at Nevada University and major in engineering and construction management, knows that the state title is a big deal— but he sees it as a way to showcase more than just their skills on the court. Seeing the discipline the team had to make it all the way and clinch school history with the first-ever title is something Robinson hopes shows off the other qualities the Griffins players have.
"We're family, we're all brothers. We trust one another. We all love each other and we all got each other's backs. And we're always working and always trying to work harder than the other team every game," Thurmon said."The coaches, they always kept real with me. They always made sure I was on top of things, including schoolwork.
Helping people by inspiring — Dent agrees that this accomplishment can have a lasting impact, not just on Buchtel, but on the Akron community as a whole. "This is something that our community wanted and this is something that we were blessed with," Dent said, looking at the OHSAA 2023 Division II Boys Basketball State Champion trophy sitting beside him."It is a symbol when what can possibly happen when everyone's on the same page."
