With heavy hearts, the entire Cornell Chiefs football family takes time to reflect on the heartbreaking loss of Adam Massman of Alma Center-Lincoln—a young man who was doing what so many of us love, playing the game of football.
In moments like this, we set aside team colors, rivalries, and scoreboards to mourn the loss of one of our own. Some things are far bigger than the game itself, and when one member of our brotherhood hurts, we all hurt alongside you.
Though our schedule has changed and we are now playing Chequamegon this coming Friday night instead of Alma Center-Lincoln, our hearts remain with the Massman family and the entire Alma Center community.
To honor Adam and support those who loved him, 100% of the gate admissions from Friday night’s game will be donated directly to the Massman family.
We encourage our city to come out, support the team, and help us show the power of community when it matters most. To Adam’s family, teammates, coaches, classmates, and school—please know that you are surrounded by our love, thoughts, and prayers during this unimaginable time. 💙🏈💛
