UK basketball coach John Calipari makes stop in Dawson Springs
DAWSON SPRINGS, Ky. (WFIE) - University of Kentucky men’s basketball coach John Calipari and some members of his team paid a visit to Dawson Springs on Thursday.
The Dawson Springs Independent School System posted a picture on Facebook of Calipari and UK forward Oscar Tshiebwe speaking in front of students and faculty.
Calipari has previously visited Hopkins County in recent months to assist with recovery efforts in the aftermath of the Dec. 10 tornadoes.
Through a telethon back in December, UK athletics raised $5.5 million to support tornado victims.
Had an unbelievable time today visiting with students in Dawson Springs and all of their high school sports teams.
