A Cut Above

In addition to being great football players, Flatonia’s Kobe Burton and Fidel Venegas have added a new hobby – cutting hair.

“I just started that last week, but I’ve already cut Keegan Green’s, Allen Torres’, Cale Janecka’s and Kobe’s so far. I think I’ve got one more client waiting for me in the locker room right now,” Venegas added.

“I’m better at edging up than Fidel,” Burton said. “If you see Keegan Green’s hair, it’s a little off.”

Flatonia head coach Chris Freytag has a lot of faith in Burton and Venegas on the football field, but not so much with clippers in their hands.

“From the work I saw by our QB (Venegas) on Keegan Green, he needs a little more practice. He’s volunteering to cut everyone’s hair but I don’t see a lot of hands going up.

“I cut my own hair and I don’t have much to cut.”

But Freytag was willing to make a deal with his team’s would-be barbers.

“If we win the district championship, I’ll let them cut it any way they want to cut it,”Freytag promised.
