Morning Interview: Lincoln Christian football coach previews Spirit Sword matchup
LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) – Lincoln Christian football coach Kurt Earl stopped by Channel 8 Friday morning to preview the Spirit Sword game against Lincoln Lutheran.
And this year’s game has a little more meaning. Earl’s wife, Da’Nelle, is battling brain cancer, and the game is being dedicated in her honor.
