What you missed in athletics over the weekend.

Saturday Samuel J. Green and Langston Hughes Academy played each other in football. Coach Richardson has led Green to 4 consecutive championships, riding an undefeated season each time. On Saturday, Green lost for the first time in four years. The team’s reaction at the end of the game: to applaud LHA for a great game, shake hands, and walk into the team huddle with their heads held high. Saturday’s game was not only a fantastic display of respect, but demonstrated the lessons of self-control and pride Coach continually instills in our young athletes. 
 
Big congratulations to LHA’s flag football team for defeating Green!

Also this Saturday was the Tipitina’s Foundation Rhythm and Blues 5K run. The race was hosted by the Tipitina’s Foundation in partnership with New Orleans Track Club. Proceeds from the run went towards supporting the purchase of marching shoes and uniforms for New Orleans area school marching band programs. Check out our Dibert scholars who ran as members of Youth Run Nola.



The Joseph S. Clark Preparatory Bulldogs took home a victory against Ben Franklin on FridaySeptember 27th. Bulldog quarterback lead the team with 148 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries while going 1-for-3 for 35 yards. Go Bulldogs!
