I can’t stress how bad this breaks my soul to say this, but it’s not about being competitive at Jenkins as much as it is learning skills. And I can say with 100% certainty that it’s more about knowing where those kids are, that they are safe, among other things. I’m not trying to make Jenkins out to be the slums of Brazil or anything, but it was much better to give those kids a hope that kids will come out when school starts because they normally do. Now as a coach you have to be realistic about that hope, and you share that with your players.Our kids learned a very valuable life listen here, that with the opportunity to play football they never would have learned.

I hate what they're going through. Every young man should have the opportunity to play football and to learn teamwork.

As a man with a kid brother playing currently for Prestonsburg, I worry about us going through this same awful situation.
