"Cousins Trenton Coles and Vinny Moody live in the same Clairton house. The last person Coles sees before he goes to sleep every night is his younger cousin because the two share a bedroom.

When the WPIAL Class AA 100-meter championship is staged Thursday night, it is highly likely the two-time defending champion Coles might look in the lane next to him and again see his roommate.

Coles and Moody provide an interesting story line at the WPIAL track and field championships at Baldwin High School. Theirs is a fast tale of cousins and roommates, friends who suddenly have to become opponents. And don't be surprised if they are a lot closer on the track than their beds are in that second-floor room at the home of Edony Moody, Vinny's mom.".
