St. Petersburg city leaders, youth football representatives and the community came together Wednesday night to discuss creating a safer environment for the city's youth football league following a recent incident.
Mayor Ken Welch hosted the community conversation at the Lake Vista Recreation Center, just a short distance from Lakewood High School’s football field. The meeting was in response to a large brawl two weekends ago at a game between the St. Petersburg Lil’ Devils and the Lakewood Jr. Spartans, when a group of teenagers began fighting outside the field before storming the fences and leaving those in attendance fearing what would happen next.
