Traveling to Athens, Georgia, to play in the NCAA Round of 16 with your college teammates is pretty exciting. Doing it when your brother is on the opposing team adds a whole new element.
Christopher (Booie) Grant is a freshman playing for the Columbia men’s tennis team. The story behind Columbia’s run to the Sweet 16 is epic – Ivy League schools typically don’t play a factor in the year-end competition (click here to read the Wall Street Journal’s piece). Booie’s older brother, Michael, is a senior playing for the University of Southern California Trojans, no strangers to Athens and certainly not to the title of Champion. That these two teams drew each other in the opening round of play this week may seem a little cruel for the Lions, but Booie sees it in another light . . .
