After battling childhood leukemia for more than two years, 8-year-old Ellee Large of Abingdon is now cancer-free. Ellee made local headlines this summer when she operated a lemonade stand to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
Extremely disappointed that our season has come to an end. We are so proud of all this team has done. Pictured are our seniors who turned this program around & bought into what was asked of them. They will be greatly missed & mean more to us then they will ever know. Thank you.
