MOSINEE, Wis. - A high school volleyball team in Wisconsin had a special request for fans attending their last regular season home game: Please don't cheer. It was an unusual ask, but one that fans happily obliged. Mosinee High School Senior Malina Carattini's brother, Payton, has autism, and because of his sensitivity to noise, he hadn't been able to attend any of his sister's sporting events. With the help of their coach, the Mosinee High School volleyball team organized a "silent start" to the final match so Payton could watch his sister play.
