I just got the news that an old football player of mine from Middle school in Mississippi is having emergency surgery after doctors just found a malignant tumor on his kidney. He is a senior in high school and a star athlete in football and basketball. Great kid too. Tim Kendricks is his name, please pray that his surgery removes all of the cancer and he is able to continue his dream of playing ball on the next level.

I'll continue to pray for him, and I hope you post any updates.

 

 

 

I talked with one of my assistants from down there today but he hasn't heard anything yet. Thank you all for praying for him. I'm assuming that all went well and he's in recovery. He's in Jackson, Mississippi. I should hear something today. My old assistant told me that he went to see him last Sunday and he was in good spirits. It's a blessing that they were able to find it. He is a top prospect as a quarterback and in basketball and he had a rib injury during football season and started having problems breathing since he's been playing basketball. They ran some test and found the malignant tumor on his kidney.

This is what I just found out about Tim....

Last Friday, doctors removed a kidney and a football-sized tumor. As soon as Kendricks regains enough strength, he will undergo chemotherapy treatments. Vincent Kendricks, Tim's older brother and a former Wingfield baseball player, says the surgery went well and that his brother "is in high spirits and can't wait to get out."

 

This was taken from the clarionledger in Jackson, MS. Keep praying you guys and girls.

 

Here is the link to the article about him and his best friend, my wide receiver in Middle school.

Great News! I got the chance to skip down to Jackson, MS to see my former student/athlete and it was really good to see him walking around. He's going through chemotherapy right now but he is in good spirits. They were surprised to see me and it really made his mom feel good to know that people are praying for them during this tough time. Thank you to all, Tim is expecting to play basketball next year at one of the schools that's been recruiting him. He's a tough kid and whether he selected football or basketball any school that got him would be getting a heck of a ball player!

      He had an opportunity to be the OC at TC without final say in the offensive gameplan. How does that work? Smh. Head Coaches are public figures regardless of the community size, and yes there are some out there, it’s irrelevant and not fair to them to name them on here. Also why is said “head coach” the head coach of the MS baseball program to begin with? Oh because no one wants it. As for the Lebanon question, I know what I’ve been told so just going off here say, some of the boosters were not happy with his roster decisions and wanted him out. Although he lead them to 20+ wins in multiple seasons

      A head coach in the school system? No I dont think so. Head coaches are public figures in small communities. Not trying to slander, but this is an actual question. Do you know why he was forced to resign at Lebanon? This was his second chance.  He already left trousdale once and had an opportunity to come back a couple of years ago but spoiled that.

      Are you perfect? Nope no one is, at the end of the day there are several teachers/coaches and even some in the Trousdale County school system that have DUI’s on their record. You’re correct on it being a bad mistake and it unfortunately could have ended horribly. While you consider the consequences minimal, I can assure you they are not. Ultimately I hope and have faith that he will learn from it and use it to better himself.
