Brotherhood shines over decades-long football rivalry in new documentary
This week marks the 40th anniversary of Princeton High School's 1983 playoff run that earned the school its second state championship.
In a moment of perfect timing, producer Branson Wright, a Cincinnati native, will debut "King of the Block," a film about the football rivalry between Princeton and Moeller high schools, on Monday, Nov. 20, on Apple TV, Prime Video and Google Play.
Wright’s feature documentary depicts the friendship between Arnold Franklin (Princeton) and Cliff “C.A.” Brooks (Moeller), a brotherhood set against the backdrop of the decades-long rivalry between their two high schools.
The film includes insights into the rivalry from college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit, former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel, Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin and Cincinnati Reds legend Pete Rose.
