We are devastated by the passing of our teammate and friend Liam," Delaware Valley Wrestling Coach Any Fitz told NJ Advance Media that "Our goals are always about the team rather than simply individuals on the mat." We circle the wagons to support our teammates and the Newman family itself in times like this."
Liam joined the team as a sophomore and wrestled at 215 pounds, according to Fitz, and the team intends to wear his favorite color, purple, at 7 p.m. on Thursday.
The donation looms over $65,000 as community members raise more than $50,000, as well as other efforts to support his family.
We have spoken of Liam each day in practice and will do a few things to remember Liam at our home matches this week, Fitz said. "We are also in awe of the entire [school] community in regard to how much love and support they have given the Newman family and the students of Delaware Valley," Fitz said.
