Grieving coaches plead for support, assistance after shooting death of Whitehaven football player
“This is about our community,” said Coach Rodney Saulsberry (in a file photo). “We need these kids to understand the value of life, the value of a future. There’s more to life than what you are doing out here day to day. And we (coaches) are out here for you, trying to show you a better way.” (Daily Memphian file)
