Belvidere North wrestler Heriberto "Eddie" Avila and his family are greeted in the auditorium of Genoa-Kingston high school with a standing ovation by the students on Wednesday, Feb. 23, 2011. Avila ended up having his leg amputated after an unfortunate accident while wrestling against Genoa-Kingston.
The Genoa-Kingston community raised more than $5,700 to give to the Avila family to help them through the tragedy.
