OT: Cato June's Anacostia HS Update
Had the opportunity to watch the Anacostia High School football team play out here in the DC. Some may recall that Cato June returned to DC and is currently in his second year coaching Anacostia.
The team looked great in a 20-14 win. Not surprisingly, they rely on a tough, hard hitting, and stingy defense. They're now 4-3, a nice turnaround after having won just a single game over the past 2 seasons combined. He's really changed the culture at the school as well, with their formerly empty stands consistantly being filled on Friday nights.

Any good prospects for the future? Would be nice to establish a DC pipeline.

They had a couple of players; their running back was solid. No jaw droppers from what I saw... However, I'm no scout.
There are certainly some great prospects in the area. However, DC prospects currently tend to leave the PSL and attend private schools (like Good Counsel). A strong PSL or at least a couple of strong programs in the PSL(akin to Cass Tech in Detroit) could see that change somewhat in the future.

I loved watching him play during his time at Michigan. Hope he has continued success.
