Central Standard

Rejoice! KC Has An Incredible Football Team

With All Star weekend ahead, Kansas City has gone baseball crazy. And, why not? It’s not like we have a decent football team anymore... oh, but we do. Meet the KC Tribe.

For the second half of this Thursday's Central Standard, we get to know a few Tribe players and their love of the game. They're a women's tackle football team with the Women's Football Alliance in the midst of their season. They have a 7-1 ranking, and are on their way to the quarter finals in Dallas.

This year, for the first time ever, the WFA championship is going to be played at an actual NFL stadium. We discuss the growing popularity and recognition of the league.

GUESTS:
Keke Blackmon, KC Tribe
Cierra Childress, KC Tribe
Jasmine Kingcannon, KC Tribe
Cindel Harris, KC Tribe

SEE A GAME:
The KC Tribe plays their home games at Center High School, 8715 Holmes Road, with kickoff at 5pm. Tickets are $10, and 14 and under get in free. More info on game day here.
