I know, I know. I’m a week(ish) late on this post, but things have been busy in Mississippi. Not only have I entirely moved out of one apartment and into another (with relatively little mess), I have also been working full-time, dodging overthrown footballs AND been offered wine on assignment (and turned it down) at 1 p.m. from a native New Orleanian.
I photographed the North Forrest-Sumrall matchup last Friday night.
Most of the area games were delayed or cancelled due to a HUGE front of thunderstorms rolling through the area about an hour before the games kicked off. Luckily, my game only started 20 minutes behind schedule, and I was able to stay for the entire first quarter before heading back to the newsroom to submit my photographs.
Since the game started a little late, I took the time to make some feature images.
