Coach Profile: Keith Fenton

Today's edition of Patriot Football 2009 will feature offensive line coach Keith Fenton. Coach Fenton is in his first year with the CPA program and has been a welcome addition to the Patriot coaching staff.

Coach Fenton was born in Kansas City and currently resides in Lone Jack, a small community in eastern Jackson County. He is a graduate of Grain Valley High School where he played on the football team as an offensive tackle and outside linebacker. He was awarded a scholarship to play football at William Jewell College in Liberty but was unable to compete due to injury.

Coach Fenton is the father of Patriot player Gerry Fenton who is a senior and plays on the defensive line. Prior to joining the CPA staff, coach Fenton was involved in coaching youth football and soccer.

Coach Fenton's favorite scripture is Hosea 4:6 which says “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." He says he likes this verse because "The prophet Hosea reminds us that being uneducated with respect to God can bring about our destruction, just as it did the nation of Israel. Couple that with John 14:15 where Jesus so clearly lays out the need on our part to truly love him. When we do we will be motivated to educate ourselves in the word of God to understand his will, happily submit ourselves to it and therefore avoid destruction.”

Coach's goal for the team this season is that it in winning or losing the team’s players play to the best of their abilities and that they push themselves to become better tomorrow than they are today.

Coach Keith has been married to wife Leta for 22 years. In addition to Gerry, they have an older son and younger daughter. Keith and Leta school their children at home. While he’s not coaching football, Coach Keith works for Sprint as a Technology Architect. In this capacity he designs telecommunications solutions. Like Coach Tim Hammack, Coach Keith is an avid fan of the Kansas City Chiefs and Missouri Tigers.

Please welcome Coach Keith Fenton to the Patriot family.
