Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League

 
As students at Hampton High School, Mark and Sara Pilarski, are outstanding players on their respective basketball teams and excel in the classroom with grade-point averages above 4.0. Their accomplishments are significant considering the brother and sister both suffer from serious medical problems. Mark, a senior center, battles Stephen Johnson Syndrome, a potentially deadly skin disease that attacks the mucous membranes and causes skin to peel off in sheets. His sister, Sara, a junior forward, has a brain tumor that doctors determined is benign but causes debilitating headaches and lost vision at times. Despite their hardships, Sara and Mark continued to play through the pain to lead their teams to successful seasons. Both wear the same number, 50, as their way to keep the other nearby.
