Mason Martin’s mother, Stacy Martin has passed away. Please keep lifting this family up with your thoughts and prayers. I cannot fathom the amount of pain this family is going through in the midsts of Mason’s fight, and now losing Stacy.
In the heat of battle, a Dallas Mountaineer player made a mistake in their state championship game against the Aliquippa Quips. Please see the heartfelt exchange between the Dallas player and Aliquippa coach Warfield. Nothing but class and respect on display.
