Last year, Caldwell County High School students sold shirts emblazed with “Fight Like Coach” and then donated the proceeds, $1,500 to Rocket head football coach Al Starnes’ selected charity. The presentation was made on the football field at the Caldwell vs. Crittenden game. It was also at a time when Starnes was recovering from cancer surgery and undergoing treatments.
This year, Coach Starnes would like to reciprocate.
Shelley Boyd, the wife of Caldwell County school superintendent Carrell Boyd, who was diagnosed with breast cancer not long after Crittenden County Athletic Director Angela Starnes learned that she had the disease last fall. Angela’s husband is the Rocket football coach.
The Crittenden football skipper is encouraging fans and students in Marion and Princeton to buy shirts that are on sale now with the proceeds going to Shelley Boyd’s charity of choice.
Shirts were designed by Crittenden County students and are now on sale at $15 each. They are available in various sizes from youth to adult. The shirts honor both Mrs. Boyd and Mrs. Starnes.
Presentation from the fundraising effort will be held at the Oct. 24 football game when Crittenden plays at Caldwell County.
