The 15-year-old was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma in August of 2019 and has been undergoing treatment since then.

Metchie was driven around the field in a limousine while people cheered and waved signs of support. The celebration was capped off with a special presentation from the school’s principal and football coach.
Metchie’s family was overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the community. His mother, Tanya Metchie, said, “It was amazing to see so many people come out to celebrate John’s victory over cancer. We are so grateful for all the love and support we have received throughout this journey.”
