A Football Power in a Small Kansas Town

This was a very interesting i found in the New York Times by Joe Drape. It has to deal with a great football team. I mean absolutely awesome! This team is now 51-0 and has out scored opponents 704-0!!! However the amazing part is that this team is the foundation of a town. This is the kind of thing that you would see in one of today’s big sports movies. Because of the kids playing football, they each had to sign a pledge saying that they will stay drug free and if they don’t uphold that they are kicked off the team and their playing card is taken up from circulation. This is a very big deal and a very smart one at that. It seems to be one of the better “keep kids off drugs” approaches I’ve ever heard of. (3 pages)
