MLWGS Scholar-Athlete of the Week, January 19, 2026-Grant Tong, Henrico

@patientfirst

What is cooler than being cool? Grant Tong (Junior), that’s the only answer!  The Shooter, The Calm and Collected Competitor, The Closer! 

Grant is a stellar student who is a valued member of the Maggie Walker Community and student body. He excels in the classroom and also as a talented musician. Often seen doing class assignments right up until game time, he is the true definition of student-athlete   

Grant lets his work speak for itself. He can sometimes be a person of few words. Silent but monumental, and late into the boys’ basketball contest against Mechanicville, his skills were on display.

Following a 26-point game against Mechanicville in December, Grant led his team to victory last Tuesday with a season high 32 points and a transition 3-point shot to seal the double overtime game for the Dragons.

Legend would say that Dragons are loud and boisterous beings. Hot-headed and drawing attention at all times.

This Dragon is cold as ice.

This Dragon is Grant Tong, and he is your Maggie Walker Boys Basketball athlete of the week. 

Go Dragons!
