Our Reading

Quarterbacks call audibles. Coaches get mad. Players walk out. Media gets banned. It’s the same old story, just with different names and a new coach. The drama is scheduled like a game plan. No one wins, but everyone has a role. The original observation: A high school football team turned a play into a power move.
