Kentucky High School Coach Makes Impassioned Pre-Game Speech to Both Teams

Jackson County (KY) high school football coach Johnny Hallock just flashed the world back to ‘Remember the Titans’ with a stirring pre-game speech that he gave to both teams.

His team of almost all-white players traveled 143 miles on short notice to play a Louisville squad that was almost entirely Black athletes. He gathered both at midfield and made a great speech that you just need to watch.

Good on you, Coach.

We went to Louisville tonight from the foothills of eastern Kentucky to show the world out of one blood God created us all! Love is kind and it unites! The best moment of my coaching career in a time our state and country desperately needs His love and peace! pic.twitter.com/ljXXgxmeyu

From the Hood to the Holler.

This is what inspired me to take a stand for all of Kentucky. This truth is why I fight.

Shawnee is my neighborhood school…just up the street from my mom’s house.

This right here means everything. https://t.co/I1gVhjX5tN
