CLARKSVILLE, Ark. (KTHV) – “We are the Clarksville Panthers football team, but we are so much more than just a football team.”

In sports, it’s often taught that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.

This philosophy, espoused by the Panthers’ football coach Eli Cranor, acts as a bond that brings a team together in order to achieve the shared goal of winning.

However, for the Panthers, this idea means so much more.

In a video posted to YouTube on March 27, the head coach of the Clarksville High School football team describes “Panther Serve Day,” in which members of the football team join over 200 people from the school and the community to work on ten service projects from raking leaves, to painting lines on parking lots, to planting flowers for community gardens.

Cranor’s slogan for the work is “1440 > me,” meaning that the 1,440 minutes in a day and what people do with them are more important than any one person.

Watch the video to learn more from coach Cranor and see the students in action.
