SNYDER — Three years ago, Malakoff assistant football coach Shannon Fink was fighting for his life.  Diagnosed with Stage 4 Hodgkins Lymphoma, the prognosis wasn’t good.

He had but two options: Give up and have his life end in his mid-50s, or he battle it out.  He chose the latter and after a lengthy fight through multiple rounds of chemotherapy, the 55-year-old (now an assistant at Snyder) stands on the threshold of a possible full recovery.  He’s not quite there yet, but he’s getting closer.
