Grady Wooden '24 Recruiting Profile

My name is Grady Wooden. I love basketball, I play basketball every day and this is what it means to me:

“Wooden Floor” by Grady Wooden

As I grab the cold handle

I feel the sense of stepping into another dimension

And this dimension is one that seems to freeze time for a while

And when your feet hit this court it is not made of tile though

It is made of wood, a wooden battle ground

There have been many battles here and if you just listen a little with your ears you can hear the sounds from the past

A cast of light shines through the upper windows like light from the heavens

And when a ball hits the court it makes the chilling sounds of boom, boom, boom

The old voice, the court, still speaks to the young and old

Has been spoken for years and years

The best part is the swish sound the ball and the net make when you score

This court makes me stare in awe

And all it is, is a wooden floor.
