The Memphis' Central High School women's basketball team won the state championship on the same day one of their former players was laid to rest- MTSU's Tina Stewart.
Soul Winners Baptist Church in Memphis was the site of the funeral.
Many friends and teammates wore a purple ribbon, Stewart’s favorite color, just as her MTSU teammates did in the Sun Belt Conference tourney.
“From the day she walked on campus I found someone was as bull-headed as I was, but I had my own way of loving her,” said Coach Rick Insell.
Stewart's roommate is charged with the murder. She was released from jail on bond, and her attorney says the stabbing was in self defense. Stewart's pastor says the family has already forgiven the accused killer.

MTSU Guard Killed In Stabbing//Updated with arrest
((HT: Newschannel5/WTVF))
**UPDATE--Stewart's roommate, 18-year old Shanterrica Madden was arrested and charged with 1st degree murder for this.**
Middle Tennessee State University basketball player Tina Stewart was stabbed to death at an off-campus apartment in Murfreesboro. Local police have two people in custody and were searching a third.
Stewart had multiple wounds when authorities found her, Murfreesboro Police spokesman Kyle Evans said as local authorities had been called to the apartment because of a disturbance. Evans said officers took a man and a woman into custody outside the apartment before finding Stewart inside.
The junior guard from Memphis was taken to Middle Tennessee Medical Center and was pronounced dead.
Counselors have been alerted to help on campus.
The Blue Raiders (23-6) are the No. 1 seed from the East and scheduled to start play in the Sun Belt Conference tournament this weekend against either FAU or Arkansas State in Hot Springs, Arkansas.
