Some amazing #Hokies news to share:
Chase O’Brien, the young man who designed the shoes @CoachMKYoung wore from the Carilion Children’s Hospital program, got to “Ring the Bell” on Monday.
He’s done with chemo! So proud of this tough fella. Congrats Chase!
Young reporters… take note!
When you are assigned to write about a game and “real life” breaks out all around you, don’t be afraid to pivot!
Kudos to @ARomanoWDBJ for turning what some would deem a footnote into the feature!🏀🏀 @CoachMKYoung#VT#WDBJ

WATCH: @HokiesMBB defeated Pitt on Saturday, but the star of the night was 7-year-old Chase O'Brien.
See how @CoachMKYoung and Virginia Tech turned a young cancer patient into the King of the Cassell:
Chase O’Brien, a seven-year-old that’s gone through cancer treatments for the last two years, is an honorary starter for the #Hokies tonight. Chase and his parents, Eric and Jessica, are the program’s special guests this afternoon vs. Pitt.
Bigger than basketball 🦃🧡
We're truly inspired by the patients at @CarilionClinic. Chase O'Brien was the kid who designed Coach Young's shoes.
Chase, when you're ready, we'll have a seat in Cassell fit for royalty!
