Carson-Newman Coach Battling Prostate Cancer

((HT: WATE-TV Knoxville))

Ken Sparks is a legend in Division II football- having coached Carson-Newman to five national titles in his 32 years at the top for the Eagles...

But three weeks ago, he learned a lesson that all of us need to if we haven't already...

Here's the story from Carson-Newman with Jill McNeal...


"We started staffing positions the week after I found out," Sparks said. "Our job is to get these men ready and to go forward. And we trust in the Lord and let Him do what only He can do."

Athletics Director Allen Morgan added: "Ken has the full support of Carson-Newman College, from alumni and former athletes to everyone here. We are looking forward to a complete recovery and are confident that he will continue the fruitful and everlasting impact he has had on the lives of young men. We are praying for him and Carol, and we ask that all members of the C-N family do likewise."

Follow his progress hyah...
