RESPECTFULLY

RESPECTFULLY chronicles the inspiring journey of D.W. Daniel High School’s black athletes. Their historic “Touchdown” marked the start of integration, while “The Sideline Story” reflects on those who played JV in the late 60s, awaiting their moment. “The Come Up” in the 70’s and 80’s saw the rise of black athletes, leading to the '90s era of “Friday Night Lights,” where the Daniel Lions football team dominated the state.  “The Warm Up” of the 2000s signaled growing recognition, culminating in “The Blow Up” of 2010 as these athletes ascended to professional success, solidifying their legacy in high school sports history.
