More Than A Game.. Richwood Football Players Give Their Life To Christ
Richwood football coach Marcus Yanez runs a tight ship within his program. The team follows the same itinerary each Friday before game time with no excuses and there is to be no deviating from that schedule.
Yanez was thankful at the end of the day that God led him to stray away from his Friday game plan.
Following a pre-game devotion, 10 of his players made a decision to give their life to Christ. A kiddie pool filled with water was used to baptize those players as teammates watched on encouraging their brothers along the way.
We tend to forget that football is more than a game. It’s a brotherhood.
Those 10 players who decided to submit their lives to the one true King, will never struggle with the ultimate coach by their side in the game of life.
J.T. Curtis Nabs Career Win No. 600; Second High School Football Coach To Achieve Milestone
With a 37-16 triumph Friday night over Archbishop Shaw, J.T. Curtis became only the second high school football coach in America to reach 600 career victories.
In a career that spans over 53 seasons, the lone head coach of the John Curtis program has led the Patriots to a 600-73-6 career record along with 27 state championships, countless district titles and a lifetime full of memories.
GeauxPreps.com congratulates Coach Curtis and the Patriot program for achieving such a great feat!
