Chris Morgan has been selected to serve as a full-time chaplain for Christian athletes at the University of Louisville. He will be honored in a benefit by eight U of L head coaches this upcoming Sunday at 6 p. m. The event, which is being coordinated by the local chapter of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, will be held at the Brown & Williamson Club at Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium.
Football coach Steve Kragthorpe will deliver the keynote address. Other coaches participating in the event are: Arthur Albiero, swimming and diving; Mark Crabtree, men’s golf; Rex Ecarma, men’s tennis; Ken Lolla, men’s soccer; Dan McDonnell, baseball; Ron Mann, track & field; and Kelly Meyers Rothberg, women’s golf.
If you’re interested in attending and supporting the effort, contact Jason Dierking, U of L’s assistant director of sports performance, at 852-0792 or e-mail him at jason.dierking@louisville.edu by the end of Wednesday.

Get Off The Waiting List — An associate has two U of L season basketball tickets for sale. They are in the upper section of Freedom Hall behind the Cards’ bench, priced at approximately $1,000 per set of season tickets (or $2,000 for two) and donations of about $900 per seat. If interested, use the Contact Me form and we’ll get you in touch with the owner.
Supporters of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes are sponsoring the Christian chaplain. I’m confident that option is also available for other faiths.
Do you know of any plans to appoint a chaplain for the Jewish and Muslim students? Are there athletes following other faiths who need a chaplain?
