As Black History Month nears an end, I’m excited to share a story I’ve been working on for months.

I talked with several players from the 2015 #Mizzou football team to reflect on a boycott that now happened over 10 years ago.

Even all this time later, it remains relevant and shines as a defining example of the power that athletes can have. Grateful to tell this story and I hope I was able to shed some new light on it.

FEATURE: A Lafayette player has never won the Indiana Miss Basketball award. But that could change this season.

@MavBBall is home to Virginia Tech commit Lillie Graves, one of the frontrunners for the award in her senior season.

How can she accomplish such a feat? By sticking true to herself.
