Norm Grevey '48

The basketball talent in the Grevey clan started with the patriarch, Norm Grevey, who helped lead the 1948 Hamilton Catholic boys basketball team to the state finals, the first team in any sport in HCHS annals to reach the finals.

A three-year varsity member of the Rams, Norm set a school-record with a 28-point game during that memorable season.

After the state tournament, legendary Middletown High boys basketball coach Paul Walker asked Grevey to be a member of the Ohio all-star team, which played a home-and-home series with the Kentucky all-stars. Ohio won both games.

Grevey was the valedictorian of Hamilton Catholic's Class of 1948, and earned a scholarship to play basketball at Xavier University. An injury cut short his career, but the Grevey name certainly lived on in local basketball circles.

All four of Norm's sons played Division I college basketball and his oldest son, Kevin, was a standout for the 1975 University of Kentucky NCAA runners-up as well as the 1978 Washington Bullets NBA championship team.

Norm had a tremendously successful career as an attorney in Hamilton before his retirement. He and his wife, Mona, live in Fairfield Township.
