Bradenton, FL

Cocoa, FL

The Ascenders used an opportunistic defense, a big-play passing attack and a time-killing rushing attack to improve to 2-1 after a season-opening loss Aug. 22. Cocoa quarterback Brady Hart, a Michigan commit, was intercepted three times — twice in the first half and once more after halftime — and the Tigers fumbled late in the third quarter. All led to IMG points.

The Lens

During my childhood, when my family visited relatives “across the river,” in Bayou Plaquemine, Bayou Goula, Caddo, the Pointe, and White Castle, my siblings and I would sometimes race up and down the levees, some distance away from the cows grazing there. At the summit of the hill, you could see the Mississippi River waters through stands of trees and brush. It never occurred to me that our “playground” was the living testimony of Black men, prisoners of the Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola whom the state of Louisiana had re-enslaved in the convict leasing system.
