‘A dangerous precedent’ CKs mayor says removing EA will have ‘devastating impact’

A news release from the board says they met Tuesday to discuss the 2021 season and “We desperately want to have a season for the kids,” said Jessica Hext.

Hext says the board is considering some indoor soccer at Kingswell Glen later in the year to “try to salvage something for these kids who have been through so much this year.”
