Silence the Violence – High School Students Honor Jasper Howard
Ohio high school football powerhouses St. Ignatius and St. Xavier team up to shed light on the issue of youth-on-youth violence. The players honored slain UConn football player Jasper Howard by wearing #6 decals, donated by Rotary International, on their helmets during their game Oct. 24, 2009.
Aside from the players, special recognition is due to Ignatius assistant coach Tyrone White, who sought MaxPreps out to help shed light on this worthwhile endeavor during our week-long visit on the Nike 5 Days 2 Friday Road Tour.
This is not an isolated case of goodwill, but a snowballing nationwide social movement in the sports community, so stand up!

Interview with junior linebacker Ryan Gibbons
St. Ignatius junior linebacker Ryan Gibbons, along with several of his teammates, have become involved with a movement against youth violence.
Recent local and national incidents sparked Gibbons to get involved. The movement also has a Stand Against Violence website.
According to the Centers for Disease Control, homicide is the second leading cause of death for young people agest 10 to 24 years old.
St. Ignatius will host St. Xavier of Cincinnati on Saturday. Players on each team will wear a No. 6 decal on their helmets in memory of University of Connecticut cornerback Jasper Howard, who died after he was stabbed in an altercation last week at a campus party.
There will also be a moment of silence before the game in honor of Howard. Read more and watch the video interview below:
