Economic troubles may result in several Mesa High football players staying home from the team’s annual mini-camp in Snowflake.
Each player must pay $270 for the five-day trip, which begins on July 20. But this year, that money is harder to come by.
“We have quite a few kids in this day and time that are working to help mom and dad pay house bills,” coach Kelley Moore said. “We’re trying like crazy not to let the economy dictate what we do.”
The coaching staff is looking for help from Mesa High alumni to help send a few kids who couldn’t otherwise afford it.
“We’re just asking for as much help as we can get,” Moore said.
Those interested in helping can reach Moore directly at (623) 326-6147 or klmoore@mpsaz.org.
