I spoke to a @UKJAMschool JOU 101 class this morning. One thing I didn’t tell the students is how many times I didn’t go to that class. LOL.

I hate wearing a mask. So hot, so uncomfortable. But I care more about protecting not only myself and my family, but the people I encounter. Most of us haven't been tested. We don't know if we are asymptomatic carriers. I'm not playing Russian roulette with the health of others.

A perfect season in limbo: Ashland High School is 33-0 and bidding to become the first unbeaten Kentucky state champion since 1948, but probably won't get a chance to seal the deal. A town steeped in hoops tradition waits and hopes. bit.ly/39b9aBt

“We recognize that we contributed to the harm students experienced at the Sessions event, and we wanted to apologize for and address the mistakes that we made that night — along with how we plan to move forward.”
