After the Indianapolis Colts hired Frank Reich as coach in February, one of the changes Reich made at the Colts’ facility was the installation of a basketball hoop in the team room. The addition seems like something right up Mo Alie-Cox’s alley. The former VCU basketball star turned tight end is in his second year with the Colts. |

RICHMOND, Va. -- Former VCU Basketball Star and recently signed Colts player, Mo-Alie Cox spent his Thursday morning inspiring kids at a summer camp. The camp is called 'PAL' -- which stands for Police Athletic League. Sports Director Perry Barber said there are about 155 students enrolled in the Summer program. He said the goal is to break down barriers between police and children, and expose kids to professional role models. |

RICHMOND, Va. -- In his 16 years as director of the Richmond Police Athletic League, Perry Barber isn't in his uniform a lot. At least not around the kids with whom he works on a weekly basis. They get used to seeing him as a civilian....and get caught off guard when reminded of his day job. |

RICHMOND, VA (WWBT) - Richmond police officers are building unique bonds with young boys through a new mentor program called Boys in Blue. Teachers at Swansboro Elementary School chose 16 boys in third through fifth grade for the program. The children are paired with RPD officers and spend time each week together. |

The 1988-89 Richmond basketball team started Ken Atkinson, now the coach of the Brooklyn Nets, Mike Winiecki, a college assistant for decades who is now the associate head coach of the Lakeland Magic of the NBA’s G League, and Benjy Taylor, also a long-time college coach currently on the staff at California State, Bakersfield. Eric English, a senior starter on that Spiders NIT team, stayed in basketball another way, as an official. He has been calling high school games for 15 years. |

The Richmond Police Department is taking a proactive approach to policing by getting at risk youth off the streets and on the field through the Richmond Police Athletic League or PAL. |
