Description

Ian Bain and Alvin Henderson were just boys when they first met on the schoolyard soccer fields in Trinidad. They battled on the field with the same common goal, to become professional footballers. Years later, the duo is recruited to come to the United States and play soccer for the Howard University Bison. Together, they are the young anchors of the first HBCU team to win an NCAA Division I championship in 1971. It's a story of triumph, until the rumors start. Reporter Mark Wright presents the first chapter of a redemption tale 50 years in the making.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
