Daily News | ‘They took a knee for Nick’: Roxborough junior varsity team’s return to the field was bigger than football
That is what everyone in attendance Tuesday afternoon wanted to see when Roxborough High School’s junior varsity team took the field for the first time since the shooting that left a 14-year-old player dead and four more wounded.
Washington had only 10 players on the field, symbolically one fewer than the 11 allowed per play. Washington’s quarterback then quickly took a knee, leading to what seemed like a quick whistle.“Oh, they took a knee for Nick,” sophomore running back Kazir Dyson said. Earlier in the school day, Murray said, a group of coaches and teachers came up with the idea to kneel on the first play. They also presented Roxborough with a game ball that was signed by each Washington player, replete with well wishes and condolences.
