Anyone that knows me knows how much I love my job. I love getting out and trying to help kids get seen so they can pursue their dreams of one day running out of a college tunnel and playing the game they love. Over the years that I have been doing this, I have been able to meet some amazing people from all over Louisiana and Texas. One such person I have meet is Head Coach P.J. Sprunk; Head ball coach at Kenner Discovery in New Orleans. Coach Sprunk played his college ball at Louisiana College in Pineville, La. The one thing I like about him is that he always is putting his kids first. He is always reaching out to try and help them get into college.
Coach Sprunk runs a very disciplined program at Kenner Discovery and has created an atmosphere of success in a very short while. You may have or not heard of Kenner Discovery. They just finished their very first season as a program in 2019. Going 6 and 4 in their first season and only missing the playoffs by a margin of a point. Kenner was the ONLY football program in Louisiana that missed on making the playoffs in 2019 with a winning record.
With the culture of success Coach Sprunk has built in a very short time at Kenner Discovery, I see only positive growth for this young program. Last season he had a couple young men acheive college offers and will be attending and playing college ball this fall. He had one of his players from last season play in the 2019 Louisiana Gridiron Football All-Star Bowl Game.
Coach Sprunk told me that they have a great roster with a several guys that could play college football. Be on the lookout for these following players for the 2020 season: JR OLB Zander Milton, SR RB Oscar Casco Jr., SR RB Matthew Geraci, SR ATH Aaron Crim, JR TE Chad Woodson, SR DB Drake Johnson, SO DT Deshawn Clark All-District last season as a Freshman), SO OL Dashawn Clark, JR OL Brian Lacey, SO WR Labyron Martin, SR OL Muhammad Abbas, and SO DE Angel Rivera.
