The 10 min unscheduled camp break was so he could RE-SIGN 150+ pics - due to a bad marker - ensuring the kids got their autographs. Unfortunately, as you all have done, sometimes you have to say no. The next day
@19problemz
invited our players to train for free. He loves kids…
400 campers I wasn’t able to autograph personal items, but every camper went home with a signed photo.
Wishing everybody a happy and healthy 4th of July Weekend!

There are times there are no answers this side of Heaven. This is one of those times. Yet, I know Keegan has a relationship with Christ. So, he knows these answers. The player now truly knows more than the coach. I am spiritually thankful he does. Please pray for the family.

Yes sir!!! So happy for you! As a head coach, i may be the only one who truly knows what WV is actually getting. They have no true idea how powerful they just became. On the field yes, but moreso beyond. World changer. God has made this young man exceptionally different. ISI

Dear 2017 Panthers - As tough as this loss is, it doesn’t compare to the joy, honor, blessings and privilege it has been to coach you. God has blessed you all with your own unique - great talents. No game or man can change that. Let them shine!!!
I️ love you.
Coach Hodge.

Today I’ve cried many tears, good tears. Tears of love for all the support, memories, relationships. Tears of humility for feeling immersed in God’s blessings. I can’t express with words how much I love my team. They are mine. A name on a jersey will never change this.

I am so blessed, yet saddened the rest of the world doesn’t get to experience the truth of young people like HS coaches do. In the end, all children are vulnerable, need & desire safety, trust, encouragement, acceptance, success, discipline, faith, hope & LOVE. Please love them.

Keegan has stabilized enough to be transported to the Greenville Children’s Hospital. He is still in a critical place, however there is more of a glimmer of hope than before. Keep calling on God to be powerful.
Keegan has had a very tough night. Please continue to pray earnestly for the swelling to stop and the medications to work.

in the playoffs. We always wonder how far a kid will go. He was one of the few you knew! His intangibles, intellect, selflessness, competitiveness, love for others, etc destined him for greatness. Young men follow the examples of such.

I find it very discouraging to hear how some HS programs are targeting players at other schools. I get kids recruiting kids. We all want programs that are desirable by others, but using youth coaches, booster rental houses, claiming homeless, etc. Is this what we’ve come to now?

We ask you take the next 10 seconds and simply praise Jesus for who he is. Then take the next 10 and boldly call on Him to heal Aaron’s body. Then take the next 10 and call on Him to intervene in any situation in your life or the lives of others. Lives can change in 30 seconds.
