They would do it with a group of teammates, or often, on their own. Now, grade school and high school football players have outlets that once weren’t there. One of those outlets came to about 250 kids this past weekend at Plymouth Whitemarsh High School, in a camp run by JuniorRank Sports.

Locals Sound Off On Starting Quarterback Michael Vick's Performance With Eagles

Still a hot topic with football fans, locals at The Ale House weigh in on Michael Vick's past and his current performance with the Eagles.

Newtown Square–No matter what opinion you might have on Michael Vick, a quick probing into the hearts and minds of local sports fans showed that it's still a hot topic and the person next to you is likely to have something different to say. Two questions were asked, "How did you feel when the Eagles first signed Vick?" and "How do you feel about him at the helm now with Eagles doing so well?" Both managed to start couples bickering and long-time friends arguing. The general consensus among the football fans at The Ale House in Newtown Square during Dec. 12th's game against the Dallas Cowboys showed that most people feel that Vick has already paid his dues to society.  Vick's continued efforts in visiting schools and delivering messages …
