Here is how he wound up at FUMA ...

We didn't mention it in the paper, but I want to send out a special heads-up for Ardrey Kell senior Brent Vinson. Brent injured his knee just days before the season started and missed the entire year. Brent was headed for an all-star season and a college scholarship, probably at a D-1 school. Brent stayed true to his teammates and was there for them all season long, even though it had to be tough to watch each game. We spoke to Brent a few weeks ago and he weighing his options of prep school vs a smaller college. We send out our best wishes to Brent on the future.

BRENT VINSON…SETTING AN EXAMPLE FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW

Growing up as the son of a Police Officer, a child will quickly learn right from wrong. Discipline, hard work, respect and dedication to the job also come into play for the children of police officers. Such was the case for 16 year old Brent Vinson. The Ardrey Kell High School Junior has used the lessons learned from his father Alex to become one of the top student-athletes in the school. Alex recently retired after 27 years with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department and spends a lot of his free time mentoring Brent and other students at Ardrey Kell. Along with wife Betty, the Vinson’s have done a fine job raising Brent.

FUMA and Hargrave are two of the best PG programs in the country. They both routinely churn out very high caliber athletes in both football and basketball. A lot of players from these two schools get very heavily recruited to FBS programs. I think I saw one or two HMA alums playing in BCS games last week
