They are twins and as twins both are Ada High School seniors, they are football players, and now both are also AHS lift-a-thon champions and record holders.
Nathan and Noah Mattson each lifted 450 pounds Friday night at the stadium.
They broke Mason Waugh’s record from last year at 445 pounds. Each year the football team holds a fundraiser to kick off the season.
The players get pledges for each pound they lift or a flat donation.
