When Cody and Caleb Martin played for North Carolina State, their mom was always in the stands.
Jenny Bennett, who raised her twin boys and their older brother by herself on a shoestring budget, lived only two hours east of Raleigh, home of the NC State Wolfpack. The drive, while arduous, was manageable, and it meant the world to Cody and Caleb to see their mom in the crowd cheering for them.
“Honestly, when I look up in the stands, I don’t look at anybody else but my mom,” Caleb Martin said earlier this year.
