                  Mitch McKee was 15- years -old while he was living with his father that was diagnosed with cancer.  Unfortunately, his father's illness had no cure. However, Mitch believed he could do something that could numb the pain for a while. Mitch decided to try to win the State Wrestling Championship for his father. He was only a freshman, however his determination to winning and dedication didn't stop him from trying to win. Everyday Mitch would wake up at 6 a.m. to train for the competition. The day came when Mitch was going to compete. Mitch was amazing! He won almost all of his competitors and he made it to State Finals. There was one match left to define whether Mitch would win the championship or end in 2nd place. He knew what he had to do so he was ready to take on the challenge. Mitch tried and concentrated to winning the championship while he was fighting his opponent until the battle ended. That year, the State Wrestler Champion was Mitch McKee! Mitch's father was so proud of what Mitch had accomplished and he knew what really mattered was his son proving how much love he had for him.
