It was a matchup that the city couldn’t wait to see. Friendship Collegiate had been down this road before, but Dunbar worked really hard this season to get to new heights. With Friendship having an overall 9-3 season and Dunbar with 10-2, it was easy to wonder who the champion would be.

There are many people running for president in 2020. They have a lot of beliefs, and most are different than the president we have now. People have more options to choose from, so we wanted to talk about a few.
FNN Story of the Day: Tech Prep Early College student, R’Naisia Murphy skipped two grades. Read her story to find out how things worked out.
Many parents tell me that the decision to skip their child is a big one. I can see why— students who skip are forced to be with older kids, be influenced by them, developing the fear they’ll be put behind because of the material they hadn’t been able to learn and many other reasons.
FNN Story of the Day: A Surprising History Of Colorism and How It Affects The Black Community.
Colorism is discrimination against people based on their skin tone. Usually colorism discriminates against people of a darker skin tone. So people would think colorism in the black community would be rare since we all are black and we all face discrimination.
