Mount Vernon High School to host memorial basketball game in memory of Shamoya McKenzie this Friday, Feb. 3

Mount Vernon City School District

All donations will be given to the McKenzie family

MOUNT VERNON, N.Y. (Feb. 2, 2017) —- Mount Vernon High School will host a memorial varsity basketball doubleheader against Scarsdale High School this Friday, Feb. 3 in memory of Shamoya McKenzie, a Graham School eighth-grader who was killed by a stray bullet on New Year’s Eve.

The boys’ varsity basketball game will begin at 4:15 p.m. in the high school, followed by the girls’ varsity game.

All donations will be given directly to the McKenzie family.

McKenzie was a member of the high school’s junior varsity basketball team.  Her goal was to become a member of Mount Vernon’s varsity team, attend the University of Connecticut and play for the WNBA.

Mount Vernon officials called McKenzie a peacekeeper, noting her love of her community.

At her wake, Mount Vernon School District Superintendent Dr. Kenneth P. Hamilton said: “I have to have some solace in believing she had a purpose; a purpose to serve as an ambassador to peace. Her death must not be in vain.”

The Madison Square Garden Street Team will on hand with promotional materials and giveaway.

For additional information, call 914-665-5235.
