They won their first game in four years then proceeded to lose 3 in a row. The inner city football program was proliferated with gangbangers and trouble makers. These boys defied the odds and finished the season. In previous years, most quit after the first practice. The coaching staff did a nice job keeping it together. The seniors realized moments after they had blocked what would have been the winning field goal, that they had more than likely just played their last organized football game. Emotions ran and dripped on the field. The blocked field goal resulted in a tie at 13.
I really did enjoy shooting the Crawford team this year. After the first game against La Jolla, it looked like a desperate season to keep the boys motivated. Fire clicks in the strangest places. In a year, the Lightening of Roy Hobbs may infiltrate the school. I hope so. Looking forward to shooting some more.
