Amstutz, of Goshen, and an alumnus of the Oldham County Youth Football League, has improved the league’s facilities with new landscaping and repair and cleaning of some existing structures at the league complex in Wendell Moore Park.

“I just thought I would do my project at a place that really meant something to me and a place that would benefit the new kids coming in,” Amstutz said. “I just wanted to make it better if I could.”
