That fall, the Wheels of Soul and the Ghetto Riders bore a certain grudge against each other. The leader of the Wheels had a relative playing for Camden and was not inclined to miss a game. "At the beginning of the third quarter, the shooting broke out," Rozier says. "It sounded like caps at first. Then there was smoke. We all hit the dirt. Both teams were face down around...
