What's up, Apollo Nation? This is Khaleel Menewele coming to you about the story when my hometown came together and we achieved something that made me proud. Every year, the team that I play with from my Pop Warner team, we go to the championship and we advance to go to high school and it's something I'm proud of that my high school, one of my high schools that I graduated from, actually come and recruit our players and they get players that don't even know if they want to play football again after. And it makes me proud to see kids have a way out. Shout out Coach P, Coach Green, Coach Sean, Coach Andrews, the whole Cayman City Thunderbolts, man, and the whole TF North staff. Every year, they come and get players and let them come for four years and actually achieve something and be something in life. And that's a proud moment that I take and eat and love to see.
