Petersburg High School will dedicate their new weight room and training facility for future Crimson Wave athletes in the name of current NFL star and Petersburg native Kendall Langford of the St. Louis Rams. Langford starred for the Crimson Wave before going to Hampton University and becoming a defensive terror in the MEAC Conference.
Kendall was drafted by the Miami Dolphins after his senior year at defensive end for the Pirates, and recently signed a new 4-year free agent contract with St. Louis. Langford was a great student as well as athletically gifted and has continued to lend his support and encouragement to the kids who follow in his footprints with the Crimson Wave.
The dedication ceremony will be held tonight in the Lawson Gymnasium on the PHS campus at 6pm. Certainly his success is a source of pride to sports fans all around the Tr–Cities and particularly in Petersburg, VA. For more details go to Petersburgathletics.com.
