Mikale’s Athletic Journey

Stevenson has taken the collegiate sports world by storm. After playing two seasons at Grambling State University (GSU), he has now made the move to the Midwest to join head coach Jon Coffman’s program at PFW.

His stats are impressive; he poured in an average of 10.8 points, snagged 4.3 rebounds per game, dished out 3.8 assists, and even recorded nearly two blocks each game!

A Strong Finish at Grambling State

While at GSU, Stevenson contributed significantly during his last season, helping lead his team through various challenges. Notably, he played a key role in GSU’s recent victory in the SWAC Men’s Basketball opening round against Alabama A&M, scoring 17 points along with three assists and two rebounds. It’s no surprise that his strong performance was crucial for Grambling as they shot an impressive 50% in the first half

In that game, the GSU Tigers took control early on, finishing the first half with a 41-30 advantage over Alabama A&M. The Tigers dominated inside the paint, scoring 32 points compared to Alabama A&M’s mere 10 points. This momentum carried them into the next round of the SWAC tournament, where they’ll face Texas Southern.

Looking Ahead to the Future

The SWAC Men’s Basketball Tournament is set to take place from March 11-15 at the Gateway Center Arena in Atlanta, GA. Interestingly, Stevenson’s former team, Grambling State, will head into the tournament as the No. 8 seeded team. They will surely be looking to make a splash after recent successes, and Mikale’s transfer to PFW opens a new chapter not only for him but also brings new energy to the Mastodons.

The roster for PFW is starting to take shape, and the addition of a player with Stevenson’s talent adds a layer of depth and skill that will be vital as they prepare for the upcoming season.
