Football at South getting more serious

By Rex Kirts

There's a new way of doing football at South.
That, of course, was promised by Kirk Kennedy when he was hired as coach in April.
Over the Christmas and New Year's holidays, when most football players are snug in their beds, some of South's were lifting weights.
"We had weights two times, both weeks," Kennedy said.
The turnout, he said, "was decent, about 20."
That's 20 more than most programs.
The Panthers were 3-7 two years ago and 2-8 last year. The program will only get turned around with more of the kind of direction and dedication shown by the 20 who showed up to pump iron the last couple of weeks.
