As has been well-covered in the media, Maplewood Richmond Heights put its football program on hold this year, and homecoming will be celebrated at volleyball games, a band performance and a soccer game on Friday.
After The New York Times covered the story, CBS News; National Public Radio’s Here & Now; KMA Land, Shenandoah, IA; Desert News National, Salt Lake City, UT; RT (Russia Today), Inquisitor; KWMU, St. Louis public radio; Atlanta Journal-Consitution; and Deseret News, Statesboro, GA have picked up on it.
The articles focused on the MRH decision to cut football, involving low numbers of students wanting to play and injuries in past years — also a growing interest in soccer.
