Justin Cousin is back at Graham, this time as the basketball coach.
By Bob Sutton
Special to The Alamance News
Justin Cousin was bothered when he heard about the decline in fortunes for many of Graham’s sports teams, particularly boys’ basketball.
Now the school’s all-time leading scorer will have a chance to do something about that.
Cousin, a 2012 graduate, has been hired as the school’s next coach.
“The timing was perfect,” he said. “It’s good that I can be the one to get the ball rolling and turn the tide around here. Graham hasn’t had the success that we’ve had in the past, so I want to be the one to come help change that.”
Earlier this century, Graham had some powerhouse teams playing in front of capacity crowds. Those are what Cousin remembers fondly.
“It still smells the same. It still looks the same,” he said during an interview in the gym lobby. “Full-circle moment for sure.”
Cousin played under coach Mike Williams at Graham, racking up 1,997 points in high school and then spent a season in the Air Force Academy’s prep school before five seasons in Radford’s program. His final college game was in the 2018 NCAA Tournament against Villanova in Pittsburgh. From there, he played professionally in New Zealand.
“I had been running from coaching for a long time because I knew once I got into coaching that would mean my playing career was over,” he said.
He didn’t return overseas because of the pandemic. Instead, he helped coach with his father’s Mid-State Magic travel program, reconnecting with college coaches who were recruiting at those tournaments.
That led to a graduate assistant position at Radford and from there he spent two seasons in a similar role at Georgia, where he earned a master’s degree in nonprofit management and leadership. During the 2024-25 season, he was the assistant coach with Wabash Valley College, a two-year school in Mount Carmel, Illinois.
He learned about the opening at Graham, which had multiple coaches the past few seasons.
“When I was out in Illinois, one of the parents of one of the guys on the team reached out to me,” he said. “I had been praying for an opportunity to come closer to home. I guess that was the answer to my prayer.
“It doesn’t get closer to home than home.”
His hiring at Graham was approved earlier this spring, but he needed to finish commitments at Wabash Valley College through May. He also mourned for his grandmother, Joann Cousin, who died May 27.
“She was my biggest fan here back when I played,” he said.
Looking for a turnaround
Graham’s basketball troubles included a 2-20 record during the past season. That marked the seventh season in a row that the Red Devils haven’t exceeded the eight-win level.
“Every time I come home and talk about high school sports, we’ve been at the bottom,” Cousin said. “And I don’t like that for my alma mater.”
Graham athletics director Kyle Ward, a former girls’ and boys’ basketball coach, said Cousin’s deep roots in the program should be a plus.
“We’re hoping he can turn it around,” Ward said.
The new coach’s father, Rod Cousin, has been recovering from a stroke, but he wants to lend a hand with the Red Devils.
Further, Justin Cousin said it would be ideal for past Graham basketball players to become involved with the program and help boost morale and connections with players.
“I feel like it’s a great time for greats from the past to come through and impart their knowledge on to the next generation,” he said.
Cousin, 31, will take a to-be-determined teaching position at Graham. He said he wants players to see him at times when they’re not in the gym to cultivate relationships.
“I would like to be super hands-on, and I would like to see the guys during the day,” he said. “I feel like as a coach it’s important for your players to see your duality. If they only saw how intense I was and how demanding I was on the court, it would be harder for them to accept me and to know that I really have their best interests at heart and that I care for them. It’s important for them to see that second side of me.”

The tides continue to shift in favor of Penn State.
The Nittany Lions have landed a monumental commitment from Gavin McKenna on Monday, per Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects.
McKenna, the consensus top pick in the 2026 NHL entry draft, will likely join the team in the 2025-26 season.
BREAKING: Multiple sources indicate that Gavin McKenna will commit to Penn State University for 2025-26One of the most electrifying prospects chooses the Nittany Lions. A game-changing get for PSU hockey. Read more: https://t.co/5L6NFs8rqq pic.twitter.com/8KodDOh5nW
McKenna, 17, is regarded as a generational NHL prospect and was the most sought-after recruit in college hockey. NHL Central scout John Williams went as far as mentioning the forward as a “five-tool player.”
“We don’t use the term five-tool player in hockey as much as you hear it used in other sports, but McKenna’s one of those guys. He’s got it,” Williams said.
McKenna is fresh off a WHL championship, defeating incoming Nittany Lion Shea Van Olm’s Spokane Chiefs in five games.
The left winger reportedly narrowed down his destinations to Penn State and Michigan State in mid-June, but has ultimately landed in Hockey Valley for the foreseeable future.

Steve Spurrier fires shot at the state of Kentucky football: ‘They don’t have a lot of wins to brag about’
When Kentucky pulled off a flip of wide receiver Denairius Gray, a few eyeballs were raised. Gray was previously committed to the Auburn Tigers and had been since New Year’s Day 2024.

When Kentucky pulled off a flip of wide receiver Denairius Gray, a few eyeballs were raised. Gray was previously committed to the Auburn Tigers and had been since New Year’s Day 2024. Well over a year, Gray decided he wanted to play for Mark Stoops moving forward.
This has led to jokes surrounding Hugh Freeze, particularly on the uptick in golf rounds the third-year head coach appears to be playing. Steve Spurrier caught wind of Kentucky fans making jabs at Auburn and decided to knock them back down a level or two.
“Kentucky fans are pointing out that their coach doesn’t play golf,” Pat Dooley pointed out via Another Dooley Noted Podcast.
“Kentucky?” Spurrier interjected. “They don’t have a lot of wins to brag about right now.”
Last season was not too kind to Kentucky, finishing 2024 with a 4-8 record. Three of those wins were against nonconference opponents too, none of which were in a power conference. If there was anything for Kentucky to hang their hat on, it was taking down Ole Miss in Oxford and effectively keeping Lane Kiffin‘s bunch out of the College Football Playoff.
However, the previous three seasons all saw the Wildcats finish above .500. The 2021 campaign was a high for a program as Stoops was able to guide them to just the fourth-ever 10-win season. Records of 7-6 were accomplished in both 2022 and 2023, losing bowl games after seven wins during the regular season.
Not that Spurrier needs a reason to take a shot at somebody but he has a lot of room to talk when it comes to Kentucky. Spurrier never lost to the Wildcats while the head coach at Florida. And while UK did get three wins over him during his South Carolina tenure, Spurrier himself gained eight more victories.
Everyone in Lexington will be hoping some wins begin to stack up so Spurrier eats his words. Unfortunately, one of the hardest schedules in college football is on deck. Stoops will have as difficult of a job as ever.
Recruiting wins in the summer are nice, though. Especially when the prospect was previously committed to another SEC school like Auburn.
Kentucky will need to get Gray over the finish line as National Signing Day is just under six months away. If they can, a nice wide receiver will join the program and maybe add to the win total Spurrier likes to poke at.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Michigan Athletics announced on Monday (July 7) a multi-million dollar gift from longtime University of Michigan philanthropist and College of Engineering alumnus Donald C. Graham (B.S., 1955, M.S., 1956, D.Eng.Hon. 2009). In recognition of this donation, the Michigan Athletics Career Center will be named the Graham Family Athletic Career Center. Additionally, the director of the career center will be named the Graham Family Director.
Approximately 80 percent of the gift will be used to establish the endowed Graham Family Athletic Career Center Program Fund in support of career preparation, personal development and citizenship for student-athletes and alumni. In coordination with the U-M Alumni Association, an alumni employment assistance program will also be instituted. The endowment ensures support of these critical opportunities for years to come. The balance of Mr. Graham’s gift will be used to establish an expendable fund to be used as a companion fund for the same purposes as the endowment, but are accessible immediately.
“Don Graham’s impact can be felt and seen throughout our university,” said Warde Manuel, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. “His generosity truly shows his commitment to the values and goals of our institution, and athletics is proud and grateful to have him as part of our family. We certainly could not accomplish much of what we do without his partnership. This incredible gift will open doors for current and former student-athletes, supercharging their career opportunities by forging strong, lifelong connections with Michigan alumni around the world, ensuring a legacy of success and support for generations to come.”
Graham’s prior philanthropy within Michigan Athletics has been recognized with the naming of two coaching positions: the Graham Family Head Ice Hockey Coach and Donald C. Graham Football Offensive Line Coach. He and his wife have also endowed the Donald C. & Ingrid A. Graham Football Scholarship and Donald C. & Ingrid A. Graham Hockey Scholarship.
“This latest gift to the Graham Career Center will provide funding for several expanded services, including launching a new lifelong employment support program for all alumni student-athletes, male or female, through their entire working careers,” said Graham, a two-time graduate of U-M’s College of Engineering. “We will be working closely with the alumni association and local chapters to bring this initiative to life. It’s imperative to prepare for life after athletics and this will help set them up for success.”
“This gift is a meaningful investment in the future of our student-athletes and the mission of the career center,” said Maurice Washington, Graham Family Director of the Graham Family Athletic Career Center. “It will allow us to continue providing comprehensive and transformative experiences that enhance both the personal and professional development of our student-athletes. Because of the Grahams’ generosity, we can create more opportunities for global engagement and build relationships that support a lifetime of success. Thank you for believing in our vision and for playing a vital role in shaping the next generation of leaders.”
The Graham family has long supported the University in numerous ways. He and his wife, Ingrid, are members of Team One as major contributors to athletics’ Victors for Michigan capital campaign. U-M’s Graham Sustainability Institute honors their support of interdisciplinary sustainability research, education and engagement efforts. The prestigious Donald C. Graham Professorship of Engineering is awarded to faculty who demonstrate excellence in research, leadership and service to the scientific community; in addition, the Grahams have generously supported the Nanotechnology Labs in the College of Engineering. Among others, the School for Environment and Sustainability, the botanical gardens and arboretum and U-M Medical School have also been beneficiaries of his generosity. Don has also served over 20 years on both the College of Engineering National Advisory Committee and the President’s Advisory Board.

NHL Experience After signing his first pro contract on Mar. 30, 2016, Tanev made his NHL debut with the Winnipeg Jets on Apr. 5, 2016, against the Anaheim Ducks. He went on to play three games that season with the Jets, all on the road, during the team’s California trip (Anaheim, San Jose, Los Angeles). […]
After signing his first pro contract on Mar. 30, 2016, Tanev made his NHL debut with the Winnipeg Jets on Apr. 5, 2016, against the Anaheim Ducks. He went on to play three games that season with the Jets, all on the road, during the team’s California trip (Anaheim, San Jose, Los Angeles).
Tanev’s first NHL point was on Nov. 3, 2016, against the Washington Capitals. Two nights later, he recorded his first two NHL goals against the Detroit Red Wings. Tanev recorded his first NHL hat trick on Mar. 27, 2018, against the Boston Bruins.
After three full seasons with the Jets, Tanev joined the Pittsburgh Penguins on a six-year contract. After two seasons with the Penguins, Tanev was selected by the Seattle Kraken in the 2021 Expansion Draft and headed west once again.
In his first season with the Kraken, Tanev suffered a season ending injury in Dec. after playing 30 games. However, in his second season with Seattle, Tanev rebounded for a career year. Tanev played all 82 games for the first time in his career and the forward set new career highs in goals (16), assists (19), and points (35).
During his fourth season in Seattle, Tanev was traded back to the Winnipeg Jets on Mar. 7, 2025. After a playoff run with his first NHL team, Tanev became a free agent and signed with the Mammoth on July 1, 2025.
Tanev enters his tenth full NHL season with 552 games of experience, 84 goals, 96 assists, and 180 points. Throughout his career, Tanev has 249 penalty minutes, two power play goals, three power play points, 10 shorthanded goals, 15 shorthanded points, two overtime goals, and 12 game winning goals.
International Experience
Tanev has represented Canada once throughout his career at the 2024 IIHF Men’s World Championship. Through 10 games, Tanev had four goals and one assist for five points. Canada finished fourth in the tournament after losing to Sweden in the Bronze Medal Game.
This tournament was the first time Tanev worked with Utah Mammoth head coach André Tourigny, and the first time he played with new teammates Jack McBain and Dylan Guenther.
Many Mammoth Connections
In addition to representing Hockey Canada alongside Tourigny, McBain, and Guenther at the 2024 IIHF Men’s World Championships, Tanev has two additional connections to the team.
When playing in Pittsburgh, Tanev became friends with defenseman John Marino. Lastly, the forward became close friends with fellow Greater Toronto Arena native, Sean Durzi, and the two train together in the off-season.
Bringing the Energy
When describing who he is, Tanev shared the following:
“I’m an energetic guy. I’m very personable. I like to chat with the boys and keep things light when the time is right. At the same time, it’s understanding (when) it’s time to get to work and be in those moments where we need to zone in. When I walk around the locker room, I like to be fun, I like to be cordial, I like to have a smile on my face.”
