Prayers For A Foe

Unread post by AppStMike201 » Tue Aug 20, 2019 6:04 am

Arkansas St head coach Blake Anderson is taking a leave of absence (unfortunately for a second time) to support his wife, Wendy, during her battle with breast cancer. I believe I can speak for everyone on this board in wishing her a full recovery!

Prayers for Coach Anderson and his family. Cancer has hit both mine and my wife's family pretty hard...it's a horrible thing to go through.

Very sad news. Shows there are things in life much bigger than the game of football.
