Football Clinic

The 2011 clinic was held July 15 at Lake Providence High School



This is the 3rd year for an event that players, coaches and fans of local football anticipate eagerly.

It is pure fun and a chance for kids from both sides of the tracks to interact and swap pointers.

Adding to the excitement was the arrival of ten players from Arkansas Baptist College who
mixed it up with the Lake Providence High and Briarfield Academy athletes.

We were reminded once again that football is a great way to bring people together,
which afterall, is the whole point of this grid iron exercise each year.

Don't forget the food! Our boys ably demonstrated their appetites, thanks to Glen Dixon who
cooked up the hamburgers with fixings provided by missionary Stephanie Vance.

Kudos to Coach Nason, Coach Durham and their staffs for organizing
the kids and working so well together.

And also Coach Wilson, of Arkansas Baptist College, who shared not only his football knowledge,
but lessons for life and a testimony of faith and the power of God in our lives.
It is this mentoring and sharing which brings us "together for hope."
