Five 2009 graduates of Mansfield High School are leaving with an extra $500 each in scholarship money, thanks to some coaches who shed pounds earlier this year.
Coaches John Fazekas, Danny Huffman, John Strafford and Janale Stockett lost a total of more than 101.1 pounds to win the $2,500 Coaches Weight Loss Challenge Scholarship. The contest against other Mansfield coaches was sponsored by Methodist Mansfield Medical Center. (The picture of some of the happy students and coaches is courtesy of the hospital.)
The scholarship winners plan to study a variety of majors, including sports broadcasting and pre-medicine.
