K College Ledge Football .L Return: A Report of Ground Zero


Hattiesburg, Miss. – April Clapton walks out of the white Chevy Tahoe ready for football.

Wearing her very festive Southern Miss top, jean shorts and brown sandals, Clapton kept an arsenal of black-and-gold gear in a clear bag lying on his left shoulder. You wouldn’t know it, but she was smiling from ear to ear, a cloth facemask pointing just north of her nose.

It’s hard to believe that a month ago, a bedridden one-year-old in a hospital bed in Brooklyn, Mississippi, had a pain in her body, a mind called “covid fog” in her mind, and she was the only outlet of the outside world facetime conversation with her son and husband.
