FRIDAY NIGHT FOOTBALL
Kaycee Hess

DEDICATION PAGE

INTRODUCTION
• The Shelby Whippet family does a good job of captivating the emotions that
take place throughout a friday night football game. Whether it be the happiness
of parents supporting their kids playing, parents watching their kids in the band
at halftime, the student section enjoying every moment on high school games,
or the team bouncing back from a previous loss. Conveying the emotions that
take place during the game and how fun the students and players are having is
the main reason high school football games are so assuming to capture. This is
because being a former Shelby cheerleader, the students do not realize it now,
but they are making memories that will last a lifetime. These times do not last
forever and capturing these moments in the making speak volumes through a
picture format. Pay close attention on how the story of the game is being told.
