North Carolina teen scores 30 points hours after sister's funeral, fueling social media movement
Posted Dec 17, 2014
Thirty points. In one of the darkest hours imaginable for Wilson Christian Academy eighth-grader Zach Hunter and his family, the simple act of taking to the basketball court would have been a victory in itself. Last Tuesday, Zach lost his sister, 19-year-old Emilee, in a car accident on Wiggins Mill Road. On Friday, Emilee’s funeral was held. And just hours after the graveside service ended, the Wilson Christian middle school boys basketball Blue team, of which Zach is a member, was scheduled to play rival Raleigh Friendship Christian at home.
