ANDERSON TOWNSHIP - A young man who was adopted by the University of Cincinnati's football team during the Brian Kelly era has died after having a seizure, according to a Facebook post by his mother.
Mitch Stone, 23, battled brain cancer while he was a student at Nagel Middle School. After being taken in by Kelly's Bearcats, he became a fixture around the team. His mother, Dee Stone, helped create a foundation to help others like Mitch who might be deprived of activities due to illness. Mitch Stone was diagnosed in February 2009 with Mitch's Mission beginning not long after.
