LaMelo Ball Honors his Mother Tina Ball with Scholarships and School Dedication.

Three years ago, LaMelo Ball’s mother, Tina, suffered a stroke. That ended her 24-year tenure at Vernon Middle School, where she started off as a physical education teacher and went on to become the athletic director. This November, two days before LaMelo became the Charlotte Hornets’ No. 3 pick in the NBA draft, he and CloseUp360 led a special day for her back on campus, where she was surprised by her former staff friends and received two Outstanding Achievement awards. Also, in honor of Tina, there was a dedication of $100,000 in scholarship to the students of Vernon Middle School.
