High school students in the South-Western City School District, part of which is in Columbus, Ohio, lost the chance to play team sports and participate in other extracurricular activities when voters defeated a levy in August. On Nov. 3, though, voters approved another levy to fund district activities, including sports. Julie Foudy traveled to Grove City High School to follow students through this controversial election.

GO 4TH
Today on "Outside the Lines," we examine two separate coaching nightmares Saturday in the college ranks: LSU head coach Les Miles' clock mismanagement in the final seconds of the Tigers' 25-23 loss to Ole' Miss, and Yale head coach Tom Williams' failed decision to try a fake punt on fourth-and-22.
