Sports at Large
Ten years ago, St. Francis Academy, the oldest continuously operating, predominately African-American Catholic school in the United States, launched a football program.The theory after more than 150 years of no football was that the game would give boys at the East Baltimore school something to do after school that would keep them away from gangs.At the time, I did a series of stories for WYPR on the growing pains of the program, so I know how special football is for that school.Today, the Panthers are at the center of a controversy that touches on the question of how much success is too much, as well as on race.
