A Texas high school basketball player died after collapsing during a game Tuesday night, according to the district and local news reports.
The student was a player for Alto High School, about 140 miles from Dallas. The team was playing a school from Mount Enterprise.
Grief counselors and local pastors will be available at the high school, the district said. “All of the Alto ISD sends its deepest condolences to the student’s family. Please keep our community in your prayers,” it said. “You couldn’t have met a better kid,” Jessica Hackney, Mumphrey’s cousin, told the newspaper. “He had respect. I never saw him with an attitude.”
