Ben Joseph, Jr., of Flanagan High School in Miramar, is the first selection for the 2022 school year. Ben is a junior defensive back with the Falcons and in spite of a disappointing loss to rival Cypress Bay last week, had a tremendous performance with 3 solo tackles, 2 assists, 2 pass break ups and 1 INt.  The lithe 6’1”, 170 pound corner combines speed, quickness, tenacity, knowledge of opponent’s  offensive tendencies and toughness to compete on the highest level

     These opportunities have not only existed in the classroom but also on the playing field. HBCU sports programs were critical in producing Hall of Fame athletes like NFL running back Walter Payton and NBA guard Earl “The Pearl” Monroe. Black colleges — and were critical in establishing football and basketball as the so-called “traditionally Black” sports that they are today — also gave chances to many student-athletes who at one point in time were not allowed to compete at traditional powerhouse universities and who were overlooked by coaches at bigger universities simply because of the color of their skin.

Surely, the talent gap could not have widened that much in a year. Boy, was I mistaken, misled or misinformed, and I’ll bet you 10-1 odds that I was not alone in my assessment.
