MEQUON — Kaukauna Ghost senior forward Caden Graff was awarded a $5,000 Majerus Family Foundation scholarship Thursday at the WBY Shootout in Mequon.
Graff is the fourth Kaukauna player to receive the scholarship, following Dalton Erdman and Marcus Moreau (2015), and Brandon Mudler (2022).
The scholarship is in memory of the late college basketball coach Rick Majerus.
The award was presented on the opening day of the Wisconsin Basketball Shootout at Concordia University in Mequon.
Graff wrote an essay for the scholarship that is awarded annually to senior players who also complete an application, submit a recommendation and meet the scholarship criteria.
The Ghosts are in Mequon for the three-day tournament featuring approximately 50 high-school boys’ teams competing at Concordia University.
The event showcases the talents of top teams and individual players.
Kaukauna defeated Whitnall 81-73 in their opening game Friday.
The Ghosts take on Homestead at 6:15 p.m. Saturday.
