Melvin Roberts Sr.

"We were supposed to go play a game at Apopka, Florida and the football team was all ready to go to Apopka, Florida. And for some reason they canceled the game, so we all at the end of the day were supposed to go home but the coach said 'since we don't have a game we will practice,' we all went on the practice field but we didn't want to practice but he said in a joking way 'if y'all don't want to practice just go home' and the whole team ran off the field."
