“Clipper Nation, what’s good? Just wanted to share some light, keep everybody positive, and their mood right. I know this is a hard time we’re going through right now, but we will get through it. As we’ve been preaching and saying around our team, amongst coach, we want to win the wait. When this thing gets back going, we want to be the team that’s in the best shape and ready to go,” George said.

“It’s going to take a group effort. Everybody do their part. Stay inside. Stay safe. Use this time to be with family. I know it’s tough for us, as much as we’re on the road. I’m valuing these opportunities right now. It’s a tough situation with the world being in the state it’s in, but I’m using that as a positive. To be around my girl, my kids, and just being around my family.
