Lost and Found: "Live Like Line" Five Years Later

Описание к видео Lost and Found: "Live Like Line" Five Years Later

In August 2011, Iowa City and the volleyball community throughout the state of Iowa were rocked by the tragic and untimely death of Caroline Found, Iowa City West High's All-State setter and emotional leader; it was an unspeakable double tragedy, as her mother, Ellyn, succumbed to pancreatic cancer just days later.

"Line" was a friend to all she met and was not simply a star athlete. She went out of her way to include everyone in everything. Through the "Best Buddy" program, she brought her "Buddy" trick-or-treating for the first time. She helped another less fortunate student become a manager of West High's football team. And it didn't stop there: as her parents would shut her phone at 11 p.m. each night, Line would be texting up to 20 people before the clock struck 11 p.m., balancing friendships and forging relationships between unlikely pairs -- like the greatest juggler of all.

On the court, her team was left to not only deal with the physical loss of their star player -- but the loss of their emotional leader. In a script that only Hollywood could write, the reigning State Champion Women of Troy rallied to make it back to the State Finals, where they defeated their crosstown rivals -- naturally, by overcoming a 2-0 set deficit.

This remarkable story has become the subject of books, documentaries, and an upcoming feature-length film starring Helen Hunt. But in this CBS 2 / FOX 28 Exclusive, Sports Reporter Mia O'Brien not only travels back with those who were there to remember the girl who "changed West High," but also looks at how much this story continues to inspire those near and far to "Live Like Line."
