GRAFTON — 17-year-old Grafton High School basketball player Josh Davis-Joiner died at basketball practice early last week, and Tuesday night, the team had their first home game since that tragic day.
The high intensity warmup, seemed like the usual build up before a Grafton High School home basketball game, but if you took a closer look at the number on the backs, of both teams’ jerseys, it was 32.
The Grafton community mourned Davis-Joiner at the first home game since the varsity defensive standout collapsed and died at practice Monday of last week.
There was a moment of silence in Davis-Joiner’s honor Tuesday night. It was a moment louder than the roar of any crowd. “He touched so many lives, it’s incredible,” one Grafton student said.
