Bethel High School graduate Jonathan Mason-Davis died last night after collapsing during a practice at Ohio University-Chillicothe.
Mason-Davis, a 20-year-old sophomore, collapsed around 6:30 p.m. during a practice at the Shoemaker Center on the school's campus. He was pronounced dead at a nearby hospital.
No cause of death has been determined.
The school plays NCAA basketball at a non-scholarship level. Mason-Davis' teammates included two cousins, Jim Jones and D.J. Davis, both of whom were also 20-year-old Bethel graduates. Jones said Mason-Davis decided to attend Ohio-Chillicothe because his father lived near the campus, and the other two cousins joined him because they wanted to stay together and play basketball on the same team.
"They called us the Three Stooges, and we were like brothers," Jones said by phone this morning from Ohio. "He was a great person who loved music, loved football and basketball, loved his little sister and his mom. He was clown. He made everybody laugh."
The Rev. Harvey Cook knew Mason-Davis from Sixth Mount Zion Baptist Temple in Hampton, where Mason-Davis' family attends, described him as "a young man who had never been in a day's trouble."
Cook said he spoke with Mason-Davis' mother last night after she heard the news.
"She couldn't believe what she had been told," Cook said. "When you hear that, your first thought is that they got it wrong, that he broke his leg or something. But you don't think that a young, healthy man makes a layup at basketball practice and then collapses and dies. His family is doing as well as can be expected, but it's just a tragedy."
