Campbellsville U athletics staff visits Northpoint Training Facility

Campbellsville University athletics visited Northpoint Training Facility and Prison to play softball, run a combine and share the love of Jesus Christ. Sports Information Director Jordan Alves accompanied the mission group and this is his report and there's this excerpt on prision food: 'Chow' was the next event and I'm not sure about many other people but for Sarge and myself, when we hear chow we immediately think of porking out at an all-you-can-eat buffet. That expectation did not become reality and the food accentuated the fact of how good we have it on the 'outside.'
