Link: Team practices from 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. to balance faith and football

I woke up earlier than usual Wednesday to start my tour of some local football teams’ season-opening practices, but what if I had to cover a team that practiced mostly after midnight?

I don’t know of any teams around here that do that, but there is at least one high school football team in the U.S. that practices from 11 p.m. until 4 a.m. Learn more about the “Midnight Madness” going on at Fordson High School in Dearborn, Mich.
