Three years ago, Nick Mancillas thought Camas-based Agape Christian Academy had everything in place to start up a football program.
He purchased 15 sets of uniforms. He had a practice field set up at a neighboring church. And he was going to coach.
But he couldn’t get enough players out to field a team, so the idea was tabled.
“I’ve had those uniforms,” Mancillas said, “sitting here and staring at me.”
