Popular Post StingEmALTO Posted February 9, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2022 We are devastated. We are numb. And we are broken. I was at the game tonight as my son is a teammate of the young man we lost. I sat in horror as I watched Vonte Mumphrey, sophomore at Alto HS, collapse on the floor. It was only the second period and Alto was leading 17-6 over Mount Enterprise. Vonte had already hit two 3s and made a couple layups. You see, Vonte is special. He was the District Newcomer of the Year for basketball his freshman year (2020) and then the District Newcomer of the Year for football this past fall as a sophomore. He was one of my son’s best friends. A teammate he had played with since Little Dribblers as kids. Vonte didn’t play football his freshman year (he loves basketball more!) but my son talked him into it for sophomore year….in exchange my son agreed to continue to play basketball. He was a natural athlete (track star too!), one of the nicest and most polite young men you would ever meet. He was quiet and reserved and he loved to play basketball. And that’s just what he did tonight. Hundreds of the Alto community showed up. The softball game was stopped and everyone gathered outside the gym, praying. A vigil was held among all the high school and middle school students with a huge circle of folks arm in arm praying for a miracle. It was not to be this night. We do not understand and will never understand. It brought back a flood of memories and opened the wounds from when we lost our Cam’ron Matthews on the football field in 2015. A town should not have to endure one loss, much less two. I am having a tough time wrapping my mind around that. To be present at both games and witness the unthinkable is crushing. I know we will get through this and I know that our community will rally around the Mumphrey family. I know God will use this, but MAN IS IT HARD. Thank you to all those on Smoaky and beyond who have offered up thoughts and prayers. We need them. This is the young man we lost tonight (#9) and my son (#21), who is just devastated. Please say an extra prayer for him and his teammates. You know a small school…..EVERYONE is family and everyone feels the loss. It will be tough to get though this. 1 12 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwarmingOnEm Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I am heartbroken. I’ve cried to the point where tears will not even flow anymore. My heart hurts for his parents. What a young man he was. Vonte will be missed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
