Corey Allmond

Corey Frederick Allmond (born January 20, 1988) is an American former professional basketball player who last played for Moncton Magic. Previously he played for the Rochester Razorsharks of the Premier Basketball League (PBL). He played college basketball for Howard College and Sam Houston State.

High school career Allmond attended Gwynn Park High School in Brandywine, Maryland and played basketball under head coach Steve Mathews. After a few seasons with the high school team, he was encouraged by his family and others to play for a prep school. Despite this, he said, "I didn't need four years [at a Division I school] to accomplish what I needed to accomplish. If I couldn't accomplish what I needed to in two years, then I shouldn't play in college." In 2006, averaged 26.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 5.3 assists en route to a county championship. The guard finished the season earning All-Metro and Gazette-Star All-County First Team honors.

Collegiate career Allmond started out playing college basketball on a scholarship at Howard College, a junior college located in Big Spring, Texas. His mother, Rosetta, supported the decision, even though it would cut down on his time with an NCAA Division I program. She later commented, "I thought that was a better deal for him to get a scholarship and for him to get a degree after two years, and if something came up where he could move on, then so be it." Allmond was effective in his second appearance for Sam Houston State, notching 23 points against Texas Tech. He became only the fourth Bearkat to score 20 or more points in his first two games with the team. On January 17, 2009, Allmond scored a career-high 25 points against Southeastern Louisiana, with 8 field goals and 4 three-pointers. The guard, whose team won by a 73–62 margin, scored 18 points in the first half itself. By the end of the season, Allmond was averaging 15.3 points, 2.7 assists, and 3.3 three-pointers per game. Allmond was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) All-District Team with teammate Ashton Mitchell among others and also earned first-team All-Southland Conference honors. Following his junior year, Allmond led the Southland in three-pointers, with 99, and was one of the Division I's top long-range shooters.

Allmond started out his senior season with the Bearkats on November 14, 2009, with 15 points of 2-of-7 three-point shooting vs the Division III program from LeTourneau University. Despite this, Allmond led his team in scoring. Allmond said, "I knew I was going to get a lot of open looks because of the fast pace they play." His shots included an off-balance three-pointer past John Wall and a corner trey over Patrick Patterson. The Bearkats toppled Auburn on December 20, as Allmond poured 25 points and 6 three-pointers. He also played a major role in Sam Houston State's 90–63 win over Lamar on January 27, 2010, scoring 24 points for his team, which was missing impact player Gilberto Clavell. Sam Houston State finished the season with a 25–8 overall record and went 14–2 in the conference. Strongly due to Allmond's scoring punch, the team ranked among the best in the Division I for assists. Head coach Bob Marlin praised him by saying, "It's amazing some of the shots he has made. We feel he is one of the best shooters in the country. His outside shooting also opens up a lot for us inside as well." He finished his senior year going .408 from beyond the arc, the second-highest three-point field goal percentage for a player in school history. He also finished fifth on the Bearkat's all-time three-pointer list, recording 270 in his two seasons playing Division I basketball. In addition, his 15.5 scoring average was the eight-highest for a Sam Houston State player. In 47 total games with Fort Wayne, Allmond finished the season averaging 7.7 points with a .412 field goal percentage in 18.3 minutes per game. He was also shooting .354 on three-pointers.
