With the violence and safety concerns in Philadelphia, football games look and feel different, especially for the schools impacted by the Roxborough High School shooting.

Dr. Hayes says it was important for the fame to go on, to let students be students playing a sport they love. They’re rallying and moving forward after a shooting outside of Roxborough High School Tuesday afternoon that killed 14-year-old Saul High School student Nicolas Elizalde and injured four other teens. All but one were leaving a football scrimmage. Some members of the Boys’ Latin football program were also at that scrimmage.

Earlier Friday, the Philadelphia Public League tweeted, "Philadelphia we need to do better," with a letter from Bartram High School announcing that football is canceled until further notice due to a threat. Boys’ Latin mom Erika Shearlds-Hill stated, "It’s not all on the city, it’s not all on the schools. It’s the neighborhoods, government, everyone working together."
