“The goal of my dad, Coach Burnett was to be able to embrace these students when they got on campus. And give them an experience that they could have for a lifetime. And handball is the perfect game, that’s his quote. And it’s a perfect game because it’s a life long sport. And it’s a wonderful activity. And he’s very proud of his program,” said Jeni Hopkins.
