Moments from the field

The stories behind the pictures

Look closely at these photos and you can see what a season feels like. The team photo at the start of the fall, with football players and cheerleaders crowded together and coaches standing at the back, is taken in late summer heat when nobody quite knows yet what the season will bring. By the end, those same kids have learned plays, routines and each other’s names.

Senior Night is one of the most emotional evenings of the year. Our oldest players walk out with the people who drove them to every practice, washed every uniform and stood in the cold for every game. Mothers carry a single flower, fathers put an arm around a shoulder, and for a few minutes the whole crowd stops to recognize what these families have given.

The spring photos tell a different story. Kid pitch is where many of our youngest athletes first learned to stand in against a pitch thrown by another child. The medal ceremony at the end is short and simple, but you can see what it means on their faces. And the Parents vs. Kids game is exactly as much fun as it looks, with grown-ups swinging for the fence while their children heckle from the dugout.
