Friday Night Sights is a visual series covering high school football in Mid-Missouri. It focuses on the atmosphere; the fans, the volunteers, the players on the sidelines, the relationships, and the excitement, disappointment, suspense, and thrill of the game off the field.

I worked with 55 volunteer photojournalists, assigned 9-11 of them to up to 5 football games each week in Mid-Missouri. I worked with inexperienced photographers and edited several of them each night ending with a final edit for the night overall. Throughout the semester I was able to guide the volunteers and watch them grow as photographers.
