Mason Chapman, added to the Penn College men's basketball roster last month through a partnership with Team Impact, joined his family, teammates and coach for Monday's broadcast of WBRE's "PA live!"

In two segments taped in the NBC affiliate's Wilkes-Barre studio, the group talked about Mason's acceptance into the program – which pairs special-needs children with collegiate sports teams – and the Wildcats' recent observance of Blindness Awareness Month.

(EDITOR'S NOTE: One segment can be viewed to the right of the story's headline; the other is embedded further down the page.)
