High School Quarterback Scores Eight Touchdowns One Day After Mother's Death

A high school quarterback went viral this weekend after he scored eight touchdowns just one day after his mother died from breast cancer. Alex Brown, a senior at Red Bank Catholic High School in New Jersey, announced his mother's death on Thursday.

"Today I lost my best friend, my teacher, and my mother," Brown said on Twitter. "My mom had been battling breast cancer that had spread throughout her body for 14 years, she was never supposed to make it this long, but through love and her insane strength she fought. I love you mama, Rest in Peace.
