While I do not normally report on these types of stories, there was an article in this week’s Recorder about the Fort Thomas Junior Football League that I had to mention.
Some of the highlights of this article include:
- the league’s rule that every child play at least 1.5 quarters per game
- the coaching help of NFL greats Merril Hoge and Chris Collinsworth
- the selflessness of past players who come back to help coach and teach lessons
- the focus not only on building a rich football tradition but also on becoming good students and better people
I think the article really shows what our community is capable of when we focus on the important things such as passing on lessons and giving everyone a chance to grow and build character and skill.
Kudos to all mentioned in the article.
