Whoa Nellie! When was the last time if ever that a FREDCO team played an DC inter-high team. Hawks finally have their schedule filled. It appears they will be the equivalent of a 1A school.
Who and when does Urbana scrimmage this summer?

Ballou High School and the surrounding area has always been a dangerous place. Many shootings around the school, one inside during the past few years and general chaos in the school. I remember having a semi-pro football game scheduled to be played at Ballou moved to another field in D.C. because of a shooting at the school related to warring gangs. The field was closed for use. The school also had a graduation scandal in 2017 where administration graduated students with the majority of them having been absent for 1.5 months and at least 50% having missed 60 days or more. Fans should travel in large groups in an around the school and Urbana should request that there be sufficient security in place during arrival and departure.

It will be an eye opener for both the Urbana players and parents. This is the side of life that can be challenging. Urbana players if they do well would be wise not to over celebrate or taut the opposing players. It's not the players you have to worry about but the neighborhood adults. Having a pint before the game and trash talking by those so-called adults doesn't help the situation. Parents on both sides just need to let the kids play the game. |
