Three very good football players and good young men good luck

[PRIDENEVERDIES]

Congrats to these young men. Cumberlands is a great program to be with and a force to be reckoned with in the MSC. Nice to see the triple option alive and well in Kentucky.

Congrats.

 

3 very good players.

 

I really enjoyed watching Tyler Jones this year and the way he played defense. He is an outstanding hitter and open field tackler.

That's awesome good luck not only on the field but in the class room too.

Right now, the coaching staff is looking at Hicks possibly at a guard position. Foster and Jones will probably get a look at either Safeties or Linebackers.

[Russelldad]

Also, I want to extend a big two thumbs up:thumb::thumb: to Sam Sparks and the Russell High School administration and staff. The ceremony was 1st class. The libaray was packed with well-wishers and almost the entire coaching staff came to congratulate each and every young man.

 

The boys were really really impressed and grateful.

 

On a personal note, I also want say "thanks" to all the fan's who have cheered these boys on the past 4 years. A state championship, runner-up finish and this year they came within one game of making 4 straight semi-state appearances is something to cheer about and Russell fans did just that. I talked with Adam yesterday and he told me that U of C has Kentucky Christian University on their schedule, so maybe before they graduate KCU will have their complex up and ready to go and everyone can come see them play again.

 

Good luck and we salute our new "Patriots"

Three very good football players. They will make Russell proud.

Congrats to these young men. It is great to see them get the opportunity to play at the next level and get a quality education while doing so.

Cumberlands is getting a steal with these three. Congrats.
