I had the opportunity to work with Cooper when he was a Freshman and was thoroughly impressed even then. He’s gone on to even better things since, continuing to raise funds for cancer research both on his own and now as one of our school’s Mini-THON leaders. He’s also one of the Captains of our football team, showing the respect he’s earned on this front as well. He’s one of those young men who is well-rounded and so highly thought of, and it was wonderful to work on his Senior Images with him.
To say that it was a wet one at Offutt Field last night as the Golden Lions took on the Colonials of Albert Gallatin would be quite the understatement! It was great to see the students finding a way to enjoy themselves while making the best of the conditions (just take a look at the smiles on the faces of those in the Majorettes, Colorguard and Dance Team) – and it was even better to see the Golden Lions pull out the big W.
It’s been four years since Greensburg Salem and Hempfield have squared off on the gridiron, and that’s been four years too long, in my opinion. It was great to see the communities – communities that are so close together – coming together once again. Here are some of my favorites from the game…
I’m not sure that anything could be more appropriate for this young man than a sledgehammer – he’s one of the hardest working athletes I’ve ever come across. But it’s more than just that with him – having had the chance to work with him in the classroom, I can assure you that he is one of the most genuinely nice human beings I’ve ever been around.
This is always one of my favorite images to capture – there’s so much honor to be chosen as a captain, and these four represent Greensburg Salem extremely well…
Big things are on tap for number 28…
If there’s a better spot for a High School game, I’d love to see it…
