NPR report on Roanoke football

[nickgyp]

Stumbled across this and it is an interesting take on Roanoke adding football. Interestingly, it started as a club team playing a four game schedule and now plays at a high school stadium. While it points to a leveling off effect in new programs after attracting males, it seems that in a hotbed of high school football, both Thomas More and Mt. St. Joseph locally continually attract players to the schools. The 2025 football rosters at Dayton and Duquesne feature over 100 players. Males who wanted an education and an opportunity to play football.
