High School Football America Podcast - Dorsey Dons FootballHigh School Football America editor-in-chief Jeff Fisher talks with head coach Paul Knox of Dorsey High School (Los Angeles, CA) on the eve of his team's showdown with neighborhood rival Crenshaw. These two schools are only two miles apart. Dorsey and its football field sits in one of the deadliest neighborhoods in America. The Baldwin Village community, which is also known as The Jungle, has one of the worst poverty levels and highest number of foster children, per capita in the country. A police task force has been formed in the community to engage in a daily war with rival gangs, and the City of Los Angeles has placed the entire area under a sweeping gang injunction. I point out all of the bad, because out of the bad comes good. Thanks to Coach Knox and people like Martin Ludlow, who serves as the teamâÂÂs strength and conditioning coach, plus a director of the non-profit Dorsey Football Boosters, Dorsey players are given a better chance at a better life if they work hard on-and-off the field. WhatâÂÂs even more amazing is, Dorsey does it on a budget of $45,000! The Dorsey football team truly spends every day trying to overcome the odds...on-and-off the football field.
