"Madison turns to Jenkins to replace longtime girls basketball coach"
"Javon played for me at Adrian and coached for me at Hudson," Comstock said. "He's a quality guy and a guy that relates well to today's high school athletes. When he coached for me, he wasn't blessed with much talent, but he poured himself into coaching. He was tireless in trying to improve skill, develop positive attitudes and teach kids to handle adversity. He is ready to be a head coach." Marc Comstock

“I am a living advocate that great futures do start here at the Boys and Girls Club”
“Honestly, if it wasn’t for the Boys and Girls Club I don’t think I would have been able to capitalize on the opportunities that came to me. The Boys and Girls Club has allowed me to connect with different individuals and organizations that by myself I may have not had the opportunity, so for that I’m forever thankful for the Boys and Girls Club for paving the way for me. My goal in life is to make sure to pay it forward and I can impact the youth the same the way the club did for me.” Javon Jenkins
A 3-on-3 basketball tournament is a new feature of the Juneteenth festival. The basketball tournament is for children and teens ages 9-11, 12-14 and 15-18.
