MILWAUKEE — After weeks of anticipation, Milwaukee Vincent Co-op football players will finally take the field Thursday for their first game of the season, but the delayed start has left families frustrated and questioning leadership decisions.

"Irritated, more than anything, I'm just trying to figure out why," said Marion Kirby, Payne's aunt.

Payne's uncle, Devonte King, expressed even stronger feelings about the recurring issues.

"For me, it's more like rage at this point cause this isn't the first season it happened, and now it's just starting to feel like a recurring cycle," King said.
