Sheri inspired me to do this post. We had a conversation about how team managers are sometimes treated shabbily in sports.

I'm quite proud of our head coach and players in how they treat our team managers. They are treated like gold and better then the players treat each other.

My favorite manager was Zach. He was a joy & I miss him tremendously.

He's since graduated high school and moved on in life, but I heard he still watches game tapes and is always talking football.

These pictures are some of my worst so I apologize. Most of them were taken 3+ years ago and I barely knew what a shutter was. ;O)

MHJphotos Julie! I beg to differ about the 'quality' of these images. While they may not have the snap and amazing sharpness and noise control of your new rig, they convey YOUR love of the game, and your love of these kids, and especially convey Zach's love for the team and the game!

#3 is a winner TCC. Such emotion in that shot!

SheriJ Touching Julie very touching!! Zach looks great and so happy. Nice to see he was well cared about from the Stud football players! Nice to see football players with big hearts!!! Zach looked at home on the field and looked like he was everyones brother!! Nice snaps to convey an endearing love for Zach!! And how much Zach loved the players and the game! I hope this school sets an example for all the other schools around the world!!!!
