So sorry for my friends, @Eric_Stokes10 & @hhstokes in the Mountain Island Lake area of NW #CLT. Wednesday’s storm did a number on their home, severely damaging the new backyard R&R area, which was still under construction. 😢🙏 @WBTV_News #ncwx#cltwx
Today marks 4 years since one of our alumni lost their life way too soon. Please don't drink and drive. Once an Eagle Always an Eagle!

The Stokes twins were identical, inseparable softball-playing stars from CLT.
But 3 years ago, they were permanently separated by an alleged drunk driver, who may (finally) be sentenced tomorrow. Here's my deep dive into their story, for @theobserver. https://t.co/fkZ6nIzMvE
Yuriy Karpik received a 20-year prison sentence today in Spartanburg.
He will definitely have to serve at least 17 years of it in prison after being convicted of drunk driving, resulting in the death of Mia Stokes and Grace Revels. More on the situation below:
I was in courtroom Wed. for @theobserver in Spartanburg as a Shakespearean tragedy played out during the sentencing for a convicted drunk driver who killed 2 softball teammates by felony DUI, including identical twin Mia Stokes.
Her twin Mallory spoke: https://t.co/9ZIbUQ1DYb
It’s been 3 years since Mia Stokes has been gone. Mia ended her high school career as our Most Valuable Player all while being an even better person off field. She will be forever missed and will forever be an Eagle.
Please don’t drink and drive.

my twin sis was the biggest @Braves fan and absolutely loved @LieutenantDans7. my goal was to find something dansby for her grave, and this bobblehead is perfect!
I hope my Mia Girl has a seat right beside Jesus as “He watches his daughters” play on the biggest stage the next few days.
She always loved this team because they unashamedly love Jesus!
Wish you were there with your sis, sweet girl.

The @NCAASoftball WCWS is something my sis & I have always dreamed about. This trip is fun & hard at the same time. I finally got to watch my sweet friend @grace_lyons5 play in person & watch her hit her 22nd home run which was mia girl’s number. How special❤️ I love you G3!
