Celina Middle School students and community members rallied together to fight cancer during Celina Middle School's Relay for Life on Wednesday. Pictured, students play Ultimate Frisbee inside the track Wednesday morning. Principal Ann Esselstein, who is battling cancer, also spoke at the event and received a surprise call from her idol, Duke University men's basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski. She said Coach K was empathetic about her situation and complimented her leadership qualities. Participants raised funds for the American Cancer Society. Esselstein said a total amount isn't known but could surpass $20,000 for the first time in the event's 14 years.
