By Jeff Steers JTV Sports (June 3, 2020 9:46 PM) An assistant Vandercook Lake High School football coach had a couple of simple messages for his players following the team’s first organized team activities on Wednesday night. He told the players following a 90-minute conditioning workout to appreciate football because it could be taken away at any minute. Just ask the senior class of 2020.

It was the first conference title in softball since 2004 for the Jayhawks as they posted a 12-2 conference…
