Coach To Cure MD

A five-year old Granbury boy suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy has led Granbury Pirate football coaches to join the nationwide college football initiative Coach to Cure MD for the fourth year in a row. The cause will be featured during the Granbury-Burleson Centennial football game on Friday, September 25, 2015.
 
Jax Madrigal, a kindergartener at Acton Elementary School, will join the Pirate football squad as an honorary captain during the pre-game coin toss.

Granbury High School coaches will be wearing lime green wristbands and patches on their sleeves to support the program, which is in its sixth year promoted by the American Football Coaches Association.  College coaches are showing their support during games on September 26.  Click here to see details.
 
Also planned is a public service announcement video to be broadcast over the scoreboard video screen.
