[May 12, 2023]
“Stronger
Together” has been the anthem of the 2023 Lady Railers soccer team
all season long and on Monday night they showed the power of what
that simple motto can do. The girls and their families, along with
the coaching staff and fans, came together to flex their muscles and
open their pocketbooks for little Mikah Martin of Lake Fork.

Mikah even got to pose with the
soccer seniors on their special night.
By the end of the night, it was announced the soccer team had raised
$5,281 for the Martin family. The money was raised via gift baskets,
raffle prizes, gate receipts, a pulled pork dinner by Nuthatch Hill
BBQ and the big money was donated through the “Pie in your Face”
contest. Those lucky recipients getting a pie in the face (in
reality it was a plate full of whipped cream) were players Hattie
Mourning, Grace Curry, Imagin Werner, Jessie Emberton, Peyton
Merreighn, head coach Beth Rayman, and assistant coach Todd
Mourning. How did Donnie Bowman escape this?!

Five-year old Mikah is battling B cell leukemia and
is currently starting the fifth of six treatments. He was in
attendance at the soccer game on Monday night with his mom
Kim (Oglesby) Martin, dad Jesse Martin and his brand new baby
sister, Julieanne Joy.

Mikah also has two brothers, Lukas and Noah. Kim works in the
Lincoln Hospital Emergency Room as a mid-level provider for
MidAmerica Emergency Services.

Linda Mourning also presented Mikah with a cozy Lady Railers soccer
blanket as he sat on the track watching the “Pie in your Face”
contest. He was all smiles during this event and it’s evident he’s a
little boy just busting with energy.

At the end of the night, Todd Mourning told Mikah that the team
looks forward to seeing him next season at the last home game when
he can give them an update on how he is doing. By next season, his
mom will have a hard time keeping him off the soccer field. He’ll
want to play!
Kick your heels up for this soccer team!
Way to show the Martin family and the community that you are
“Stronger Together!”
