Midnight Madness

York High tailback Steffonte Doby runs a rushing drill during midnight madness football practice, Monday August 11, 2008. The Bearcats took to Small Field just after midnight Monday for the first official day of practice.

In the wee hours of the day, this morning, I photographed the official start of high school football season. York High decided to kick off the 2008 season with a “midnight madness” practice. Obviously, I volunteered for the assignment as it was something completely out of the ordinary.

I really banged out this project quick. Everything flowed in the right direction from the start and I was able to slide the video together with minimal editiing and already knew which stills I’d be using from the moment I shot them. My favorite image (above) came as an after-thought.
