After losing his mother three days before tryouts as a freshman, the senior is making her proud on and off the court.
Houston’s Hunter Jefferson, 23, looks for a teammate to pass the ball to during his game against Mt. Edgecumbe in the class 3A boys state championship tournament at the Alaska Airlines Center in Anchorage on Wednesday, March 23, 2022.
Three years have passed and Hunter is now a senior on the top-ranked 3A boys Houston basketball team as the 2022 Alaska State Tournament got underway Wednesday. As the eldest of six children and given the nature of his father’s occupation operating guiding business Black River Hunting, Hunter didn’t really have a choice went it came to being a source of strength for his younger siblings.
Despite the struggles and emotional trauma that came with the loss of his mother, Hunter’s father is amazed and immensely proud of how he has “stayed the course” on and off the court. In addition to being a key contributor on the basketball team, Hunter is taking and excelling in advanced placement classes and boasts an impressive 4.3 GPA.
“He is surrounded by three point shooters and he can shoot,” Jake said. “I don’t win at P.I.G at home anymore but he is on a team where the guys with him are shooters so his role is more one where he is not really a scorer.” “There’s not a moment when she is not there,” Hunter said. “There were a couple games where I’d look to the stands to find her and sometimes those are downers but I know she’s watching and cheering for me.”
