2025 Week 1 (Ohio & Pennsylvania)
2025 Week 0 (Georgia)
The 2025 season seemed to sneak up on me. A lot has happened this off-season. And it feels like I barely had time to plan things out. But once again, I was on my way to Georgia for the Corky Kell-Dave Hunter Classic.

2024 Year In Review
This was a strange year for me. A refrain I seem to repeat often, it seems, in these annual recaps. Though I saw a lot of games, I had some concessions I had to make for work or travel considerations. My daughter is getting older, and some weekends I was with her for various reasons. Even choosing particular games, to attend with her. But I also got to travel and spent considerable time in Montana–a state that I love. My season spanned nineteen weekends and saw 102 total games.

2024 Week 18 (Texas)
The last week of the season is always an interesting one. Most years, it ends in Texas. And this was the case in 2024. Now, unlike in previous weeks, I’m not going to recount each individual game. As all twelve of them would take forever as I was the photographer and videographer of the postgame press conferences. My time covering the play-by-play was limited though I did do tweet updates as scores happened for select games. Or parts of games. Continue reading “2024 Week 18 (Texas)”
2024 Week 17 (West Virginia)
Week 17 was originally planned to be an off week. With the Pennsylvania scheduled shifted a week earlier to match Ohio, and Texas not yet resetting, it gave me this extra weekend. Where I had originally considered going to Texas a weekend early. But then West Virginia happened. Continue reading “2024 Week 17 (West Virginia)”
2024 Week 16 (Ohio)
Week Sixteen gave me two logical options for games. Pennsylvania State Finals or Ohio State Finals. With them falling on the same weekend again, I had a choice. I was figuring I’d be in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania once again. But then I decided to let some other photographers for PA Football News cover the games and instead went with Ohio.

Week 15 was a short week for games. As the state semifinals were being played for both Ohio and Pennsylvania. Games were at a premium. Ohio had all games on Friday night. Pennsylvania had mostly Friday games where I could get to them. With limited options for Saturday.
Continue reading “2024 Week 15 (Pennsylvania)”
Week 14 had one solid plan scheduled. Four games on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium for the WPIAL Finals. Friday, though, went through a lot of upheaval. The initial game I was attended was going to be at Williamsburg. But with schedule changes, Bishop Guilfoyle v. Westinghouse was moved to Highlands High School in Natrona Heights. And my schedule was adjusted to photograph that one.
But then, more changes. Games were reworked to move them from Friday night to Saturday. Including both originally planned games. That left me with only one option. Continue reading “2024 Week 14 (Ohio & Pennsylvania)”
