I share the following because many folks today do not realize this and it will likely get little, if any, press. 76 years ago today, some very brave American soldiers landed on the beaches of France. At least 2500 died and many others were critically injured. So, if you think you've got problems and have insurmountable barriers in life, read up on what these fellows had facing them on those beaches. It could be a good story to share with your high school players and students about how to overcome adversity. -

Put a bunch of testosterone-fueled, young males together in a boys club type of environment, practice violent activities, and without the proper mentoring and leadership, what do you get? It doesn't matter whether it is football, law enforcement, or the military. We get NFL players with disproportionate episodes of domestic violence, LEO's with superior attitudes, and soldiers who cannot turn off the switch when they return from the battlefield. I hear a lot of complaints about the behaviors, but I don't hear many solutions. At least in hs football, we have time with the kids to work with them and most are somewhat moldable. -

It is possible this wasn’t a typical high school football game. back in those times there were “town teams”. Teams of random people who organized to make a team and would use the name where they we’re from. The YMCA would organize teams and play high schools and college teams. -
Sadly, I believe that this attitude that you described exists in many Police Departments across the U.S. These public servants need to learn to keep their personal feelings and biases at the front door. Maybe there can be some kind of reform after all of these incidents recently. -

It is Lomas Brown, arguably one of the best offensive lineman to ever come out of Florida. He played for great coach Buddy Goins at Miami Springs High. He ultimately went on to become a Gator Great and had a fantastic career in the NFL. Believe it or not, that photo shows of the best lines in south FL about 40 years ago. Miami Springs was a powerhouse back then. Coach Goins was at Miami Spgs for many years. He had a team in 1993 that went undefeated and gave an absolutely loaded Southridge team(who eventually won the 5A state title) it's toughest game of the playoffs. Imagine, 5A was the largest class then and Goins dressed out less than 30 kids on his team.
