Lauren Hill's Indiana high school retired her jersey number this weekend in honor of her inspirational fight to continue playing despite having brain cancer.
Hill told the crowd at Lawrenceburg High School on Saturday night that she thought she was simply coming to watch her old team play.
The 19-year-old freshman has gained attention for her efforts to play at Division III Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati and raise money to research and treat cancer. She was diagnosed with brain cancer last year and has perhaps only months to live.

All this has been amazing and the continued support from everybody, and all the other teams, and the community," Hill told the crowd. "There's really good people out there, that I've learned, and I'm speechless."
A banner with Hill's No. 22 jersey was unveiled during the halftime ceremony and Lawrenceburg's mayor declared there would be a Lauren Hill Week in the southeastern Indiana city.
The Layup4Lauren challenge has helped raise more than $300,000 in the last few weeks for cancer research.
