Latrobe raising funds for Scott Munchinski, local coach with leukemia
Latrobe is rallying around one of its own.
Friends of Scott Munchinski have started a GoFundMe page to help pay for medical costs and other expenses as he battles Acute Myeloid Leukemia.
In the fight with you @ScottMunch73 You got this.

Today I signed to California University of Pennsylvania to further my education and continue to play the game I love with all my heart. The people in this picture have made endless sacrifices to ensure I could follow my dreams. Thank you will never be enough. All Glory to God. pic.twitter.com/RypKj7AqS7
