Mikey Williams, son of former star basketball player and high school coach Mahlon Williams, rose to fame playing for his San Diego high school squad.

The 16-year-old basketball player is competitive. His coaches and supporters like his mentality.

Mikey has sacrificed and worked hard since childhood to attain this. The prospective player hasn’t abandoned his studies, though.

Mahlon, the player’s father, likewise values education.

In a 2021 interview with the Charlotte Observer, Mahlon said he wants his kids [including son Mikey] to finish college.

It would be “icing on the cake” if his kids earned another degree after college, he said.

Mikey attended San Ysidro High School in San Diego until his freshman year.

In September 2020, the basketball player revealed on Twitter that he was transferring to Lake Norman Christian School in Huntersville, North Carolina.

Skye, Mikey’s nationally renowned softball sister, is a freshman in California with her mother, Charisse Williams.

Oklahoma, Washington State, Washington, and UCLA have offered scholarships.

Marvin, Mikey’s middle school-aged sibling, lives in Charlotte with him and his dad.
