Before basketball season officially starts each year, they celebrate homecoming. It's akin to homecomings of yesteryear. The entire community is invited and involved in the celebration.

I've really enjoyed your photo stories lately. Nice work. I really admire your ability to get close to the people you photograph.
Thanks. I had two stories holding for space from this summer. Both of them are running this weekend. I think some readers have responded positively to the stories lately and administration is starting to allow us time and space to chase bigger stories.
That's never a bad thing.
BTW, I really like the bonfire silhouette ... forgot to mention that. I took one a couple years ago during a student party, where one kid had the devil sign silhouetted against the flames ... would have been a cool shot, but I lit it, so it turned out crappy.
With so many trees on the ground around here, they had a very large bon fire.
