The Highlanders finished 28-6 in the 2015-16 season and advanced to the National Tournament in Hutchinson, KS before losing in the Sweet 16 round.
Grace scored 18.9 points per game and upped that to 21.5 in North Texas Junior College Conference play. He also grabbed 3.9 rebounds per game and dished out 2.8 assists per game.

At season's end, he was named 1st Team All-NTJCAC and the league's Newcomer of the Year.
