At North Summit High School in Coalville, the Potter's are the first family of wrestling. Rene is the head coach and his son Coltan won the 2A State title in the 189 pound weight class last weekend.

But on his way to the championship, tragedy struck the Potter family.

The Grandfather passed away a month ago, and then, during Coltan's quarterfinal match, his grandmother Jean suffered a fatal heart attack.

Despite the adversity the family was able to turn this tragedy into triumph.
