Missing chain brings football opponents together in common effort to find the valuable piece

When a Bellefonte Area High School football player lost a chain his mother gave him on Christmas 2016 before she died, it brought two communities together to help in the search. According to coaches, it was lost during the game Oct. 11 against Central in Martinsburg.

After the game, members of the Bellefonte and Central communities teamed up in the search. When they didn’t find it that night, members of the public went back to the field the next day to search – and it was finally found.

“I am extremely thankful for everyone that helped and can’t thank them enough,” said the player who wished to remain anonymous.
