It was one of those great high school football seasons. We had a good team that year filled with inner city kids who gave it their all. We went unbeaten in the regular season and won both city wide playoff games.
Finally, we earned the right to play in the Citywide Championship Game at Ford Field in Downtown Detroit.
Upon graduation, one of the players went on to Wayne State University for a couple years of college classes. He left college and became a Detroit policeman. We attended his swearing in ceremony.
Last week, he sent me a text saying that he had to arrest one of his ex teammates who had chosen a life of crime. Although together in the game of football, they were opposed in the game of life.
It’s all about choices!
