Battle for the Coal Bucket - Cambria Heights

On the weekend of Nov 1 my husband and I randomly came across a high school football game and it turned out to be rather important. Rival teams, Cambria Heights Highlanders and the Northern Cambria Colts, we playing their last game and this game was for all the marbles, or in their case a Coal Bucket.  The teams have been rivals for years and they always played a "coal bowl" (they lived in a once booming coal area) and the winning teams school gained possession of a Coal Bucket.  On November 1st the winner took all.  I haven't shot a football game in a few years, so i was excited to see if I still had it ;)  It was just as I remember, and I loved it.  Can't follow football to save my life, but I make it work.  Here are a few of my favorite shots  of the night. (There is also a documentary being filmed about these schools)
