I spoke recently with Rappahannock girls’ basketball and softball coach Rhonda Jenkins about coaching and about athletics in the county.
Rhonda Jenkins has been coaching at the high school for seven years now, and writing about it for the Rappahannock News for the past year. Mrs. Jenkins was born and raised here in the county, and is herself a graduate of Rappahannock High School.
Bom Rhonda Estes, she and her high school sweetheart Jeff Jenkins both lived, breathed and played sports when they were in school. Now she’s Mrs. Jenkins and has two kids of her’own. She still lives and breathes sports and her young sons are already learning to play.
Starting young and enjoying the game are important points Mrs. Jenkins emphasizes: “If you start early, the better you will be, especially if you love the game”. While the rural character of Rappahannock is a blessing in many respects, it is difficult to provide the same opportunities in sports as you find in more populous areas. The earlier you start out, the more opportunities you have to play and practice and the better you will get.
