A-List No. 2: Greenville standout Marlon Davidson presses on after mother's sudden death

A rejuvenated Marlon Davidson is back home at Greenville, focused on what's ahead after enduring a year full of turmoil.

In February, a self-proclaimed mama's boy and youngest of four children, lost his mother. Cynthia Carter died at age 47. Marlon, then a junior at Carver-Montgomery after transferring from Greenville before that year, learned of her death after getting a haircut.

The call came from his brother, telling him to get to the hospital right away.

Cynthia, who had been complaining of leg pain for a few days, had gone back to the doctor for a visit, but collapsed and hit her head.
