MOBILE, Alabama — At the center of a hardwood basketball court, a different kind of game is underway.
A crowd cheers from the grandstand. Cheerleaders yell spirited words. But beneath the blare of a marching band’s tune, four students jostle with a joystick, struggling to get a wooden peg in a hole.
