News Stories All-American football player learns love of game, core values from Marine father
When retired Marine Shannon Messick first met Courtnye Wynn, he was a six-foot-five, lanky teenager from a rough home situation who played volleyball.

The journey to this point hasn’t been an easy one for Wynn but every drop of sweat and sore muscle has been worth it to make his parents, both Marines, proud. Lance Cpl.
