PLEASANT GROVE — Not much of anything has been easy since the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic. Not at Pleasant Grove High or anywhere else for that matter.
Not for the players and their families, not for Pleasant Grove football coach Mark Wootton, and certainly not for the three notable players who have essentially become COVID-19 refugees.
But the goal for everyone involved is to do whatever it takes to make the best of an extraordinary and unfortunate situation.
It’s been close to a month since both Aaron Jones and Darrius Clemons, and their families, left their home state of Oregon to pursue football and other opportunities in Utah.
