I know this isn't Play-Off talk, but just wanted to share something with this community. We all get excited about High School Football each year. Sometimes expectations are reached and sometimes they are not.
The same happened this past Tuesday for one of our long time Kings Mountain Assistant coaches. Jeff Putnam, (Coach Putt) to almost everyone, hadn't been feeling well for quite some time. After numerous trips to the Doctor, and Tests, it was determined he had a pretty good size cancerous tumor on his kidney.
Surgery was scheduled for Nov 29, and expectations were supposedly very good, but once the surgeon got in there, things were worse than they first thought. Not only were they not able to do the surgery to remove the kidney and tumor, but Coach Putt's over all health has backslid a little.
Coach Putt has been a staple in the KM community at all levels of Coaching and Umpiring for 30 years.
This is a guy who has given back to his community, and everyone has shared in his pain as his wife Sharon has fought back Cancer for years. These two have given countless hours of their time running the KM Optimist. I know they are hard working, caring people, proud people, and they would not ask for help unless they needed it.
For the last couple of years, Coach Putt has been a full time Substitute Teacher and Coach. For the time being he will be out of work. For the long term, we still don't know.
I know this is the Christmas Season, and times can be hard, but I just thought there may be some of you, who may be looking for that extra "Joyful Gift" to give.

The giving is your choice of course, but if nothing else, can you put Coach Putt in your Prayers!
Thanks
