UK FOOTBALL HEAD COACH TALKS ABOUT THIS YEAR'S TEAM AND NEW FUNDRAISER

            UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY FOOTBALL HEAD COACH, JOKER PHILLIPS WANTS THE WHOLE STATE TO GET BEHIND “OPERATION: WIN” AND THE ENTIRE UK ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT, BUT ESPECIALLY THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

            COACH PHILLIPS MET WITH MEMBERS OF THE CHRISTIAN COUNTY UK ALUMNI ASSOCIATION THIS (THURSDAY) AFTERNOON TO TALK ABOUT THE FOOTBALL PROGRAM.

            HE INTRODUCED “OPERATION: WIN,” WHICH IS ABOUT GIVING FOOTBALL PLAYERS THE OPPORTUNITY TO WIN ON THE FIELD, IN THE CLASSROOM AND IN THE COMMUNITY, BUT HE SAYS IT IS ALSO ABOUT THE FANS.

            COACH PHILLIPS, WHO HAS BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL RECRUITER FOR THE SCHOOL’S FOOTBALL PROGRAM, SAYS THAT IS NOT GOING TO STOP JUST BECAUSE OF HIS PROMOTION.

            ONE OF THOSE RECRUITS IS CHRISTIAN COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR, MALCOLM MCDUFFEN, WHO COACH PHILLIPS SAYS HAS GREAT POTENTIAL.

            THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY FOOTBALL TEAM WILL KICK OFF THEIR SPRING PRACTICE AND SCRIMMAGE SEASON ON MARCH 31ST AND THE SPRING GAME WILL BE APRIL 24TH
