North Lawndale’s offense didn’t take the field until nearly halfway through the second quarter on Thursday against Kennedy. But the Phoenix spent the week dealing with an issue much more serious than a 14-point first-half deficit.

“Sometimes in Chicago there is a lot going on,” North Lawndale coach Samuel Williford said. “We lost one of our best players this week over a threat on social media. He had to transfer because someone wanted to bully him. We lost him to a threat. He transferred away and the whole team cried. That played a part today. He was our emotional leader. It hit everyone hard.”

Phoenix quarterback Earnest Rice, a junior, stepped up to lead his team on the field and emotionally. North Lawndale came from behind to knock off the Crusaders 28-20 at Lane Stadium.

“We had to make a lot of adjustments,” Rice said. “But I’ve been the starting quarterback for three years and I know how to talk to the team and help them out. And Charles comes in very handy.”

Charles Jackson Jr. and Rice connected on a 55-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter that put the Phoenix (4-2, 3-1 Red-West) ahead for good.

“[Rice] is an amazing kid,” Williford said. “He’s one of the best athletes I’ve coached and I kind of let him run the flow. He knows the offense inside and out and it is working.”

Rice was 2-for-6 passing for 66 yards. Both of the completions were to Jackson, who was also a standout on defense for North Lawndale. Rice had eight carries for 85 yards and three touchdowns.

Kennedy led 14-0 in the second quarter. The Crusaders gobbled up the entire first quarter on the opening drive of the game, capping it off with a one-yard touchdown run by Wesley Haggard with 11:09 to play in the second quarter.

Then Kennedy recovered the ensuing kickoff. Haggard scored on a three-yard run to finish off that drive. North Lawndale’s offense didn’t take the field until 8:32 remained in the first half.

“I just tried to be a captain and keep my head up during that first quarter,” Jackson said. “We turned it around in the second half and got the win.”

Marquise James was the other major threat on offense for the Phoenix. He had 12 carries for 62 yards.

North Lawndale was 6-4 last season and qualified for the Class 2A state playoffs. The Phoenix are on track for another playoff appearance.

“We are still learning,” Williford said. “This isn’t what we usually do, but that’s football. We had to overcome some adversity.”

Haggard finished with 28 carries for 91 yards and three touchdowns for Kennedy (2-4, 0-4).

Chicago Public Schools announced the final punishments for Kenwood and Morgan Park’s football teams on Thursday. The teams had a large fight on Saturday after they played at Lane Stadium.

Ten players from Morgan Park and three assistant coaches are suspended for one game. Nine players from Kenwood and two assistant coaches are suspended for one game. CPS did not release any names.

According to Illinois High School Association rules, a player has to miss the next scheduled game if he is ejected from a game.

After the game on Saturday, Morgan Park football coach Chris James estimated that 18-20 players had been ejected. So it appears CPS didn’t add any additional punishments or suspensions on top of what IHSA rules required.

CPS released the following statement with the list of consequences:

“We hold our coaches and players to the highest standard of sportsmanship and respect, and unfortunately, certain members of our community violated those standards this past weekend. Both schools’ administration has apologized to District leadership and the community for their coaches’ and students’ behavior and have since taken steps within their buildings and with the support of the District to ensure all parties understand the unacceptable nature of their behavior and what can be done in the future to prevent any future incidents.”

Kenwood faces Brooks (1-4) at Lane Stadium on Saturday at 4 p.m. Morgan Park plays Hubbard (0-5) at 4 p.m. at Gately Stadium. The Broncos and Mustangs will be heavily favored to win despite the missing players.

The suspended players will not be allowed to attend the games.

Here is proof you can take something quite familiar and make it sing in ways that feel fresh, funny, warm and exhilarating.

The animated feature film “Entergalactic” on Netflix has a storyline straight out of the Rom-Com Playbook — I mean, our hero falls in love with a girl who literally lives next door. But the story is told with some of the most strikingly beautiful and memorably trippy visuals I’ve seen in a long time, augmented by a steady diet of infectious music by the film’s co-creator and star, Kid Cudi, with a finger directly on the pulse of millennial and Gen Z culture as experienced by young Black professionals.

This is a blazingly original piece of work, created by Scott “Kid Cudi” Mescudi and Kenya Barris, directed with great style by Fletcher Moules and essentially serving as a long-form video for Kid Cudi’s upcoming album, also titled “Entergalactic.” The fusion of music and narrative works wonderfully as we follow a group of well-drawn (in more ways than one), hilarious, likable and empathetic characters.

Set in a New York brimming with neon-rich shades of purple, maroon, yellow and orange (the style is reminiscent of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse”), “Entergalactic” stars Kid Cudi as Jabari, a street artist who has recently landed a major deal to turn his graffiti creation “Mr. Rager” into a series of comic books. Shortly after moving into his new, spacious, loft apartment in Manhattan, Jabari runs into his ex-girlfriend Carmen. (In one of the film’s many clever visual touches, the logo on a FedEx truck morphs into a graphic telling us Carmen is the “Ex.”)
