Not many teens would choose to spend their morning doing yardwork, but a group of high school football players jumped at the opportunity to help a fan in need.
On a Saturday morning, instead of sleeping in, the Red Oak Tigers got to work on a home in Red Oak, Iowa.“I've been worried about my yard and all that stuff since spring started up and I usually have this yard pretty well taken care of,” said Jones.
Jones, who lives with his wife, takes pride in keeping his lawn in order. Recent events have made it difficult for him to continue. “We've been dealing with a lot of health issues with my wife since February and she's not quite over it all yet right now so I was trying to figure out when am I going to have time to do all this,” said Jones.“I'm just totally shocked and totally appreciative of this,” said Jones.“Since March 24, we've had 250 hours of community service that our football team has provided,” said Nordeen. “We're trying to build championship people and brighten our future for Red Oak.
