It’s about coaches struggling with those kids and with one another.
It’s about young men trying to navigate lives far more violent and complicated than most of us ever have to deal with. That’s the subject of “Across the River,” the new book by this week's SouthBound guest, Kent Babb.īabb is a sportswriter for the Washington Post, and after writing about Karr High for the newspaper, he went back and spent the season with the team for his book. And at Edna Karr High School in Algiers, there’s a football coach trying to not just win games but save the lives of his young players. It’s part of New Orleans but not really of the city. On the far bank of the Mississippi River, across from the French Quarter, there’s a neighborhood called Algiers.
But the city has hard times between storms, too.
