Nearly all the former members of the Mustangs are doing well in their new lives outside the detention center: Willie Weathers is playing football at a top boarding school. Kelvin Owens is playing football for Washington High. Kenny Bates is going to school in Redondo Beach and living with his mother. Junior Palaita got a job working for a furniture company. Leon Hayes is playing football for Dorsey High, and Miguel Perez and Donald Madlock went back to their old gangs and are now in California youth authority prisons.
