Metro Sports marathon....

On Thanksgiving Day, the cable sports channel will be repeating all day long the two latest productions from its hard-working, award-winning documentary team: "CityBall" chronicles a year in the life of student athletes inside the embattled Kansas City School District, who manage to have fun playing their games despite low turnout and lousy budgets -- and proving that even in the roughest neighborhoods, after-school sports help kids stay in school and off of drugs. It will be repeating all day along with "Border War," which explores the only athletic rivalry to emerge from an actual historical conflict, and how the echoes of the Civil War are heard over the playing field even today.
