It’s been a whirlwind season for first-year Faith Baptist Christian Academy basketball coach Keith Graves.Formerly a coach at Life Christian Academy in Albany, Graves came to the Crusaders to take over the school’s B team, which plays for the Georgia Christian Athletes Association, and their national team, which competes in the National Association of Christian Athletes Conference.With five games left before the national title tournament in Tennessee at the end of February, Graves’ national team is sitting pretty with a 28-13 overall mark and a 7-0 conference record.Playing at the national level has meant taking the team to Las Vegas, California, Virginia, Florida, South Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky. It also means his team has played against some of the top 100 teams in the nation.Graves said his team is multi-talented and also multi-national. His players come from France, Turkey and Nigeria to play American basketball and for a chance to attain high-school and college educations.“One of my players just signed to play for Sheridan College and two signed with South Georgia State,” he said, emphasizing that the boys work hard.
