In Loving Memory of Maurice Hill III

Proverbs 3:3–4
"Let love and faithfulness never leave you... Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

Maurice lived a life full of love and faithfulness. His impact reminds us that it's bigger than sports—it’s about purpose.

Uphill was created in his honor, to help children see that they are loved, that they matter, and that they too can make a difference, just like he did.
