Oh man....to be honest with you, I really think that the high school fans in the nation can be the biggest homers ever. Bigger than college fans and professional sports.
Reason why I think that?
Well, for one, I think it's because the fans have many of their close friends on the football/basketball/baseball team or whatever and they all want to see their friends succeed. And also get bragging rights in the area or region or whatever.
Anyway, like I said in my previous post, I shot a football game recently and it made me realize something....I miss my high school. I miss being part of the super fans section during the women basketball game during my senior year.
So here's a few shots of the fans from the McQuaid football game last friday night:
 |
| McQuaid Senior Pat Casey (red shirt, extended arms) leads the cheering crowd known as the 'Lumberjacks' in the third quarter. |
 |
| McQuaid Senior Danny Kress is mobbed by the fans during the third quarter. |
 |
| McQuaid Senior Cass Lubberts yells for the football team in the fourth quarter. |
 |
| McQuaid Senior Tim Gerham sings the school's fight song in the fourth quarter. |

After looking at all of the photos that I took of the fans, it really really really brought me back to my high school days.
Anyway, to the McQuaid fans that I talked with, I hope you enjoyed the photos as well as I did! I tried my best to match the names to the proper people. It was pretty wild in there!
Anyway, if I'm missing anybody, you can shoot me an e-mail to dylan@dylanheuer.com
And I will try my best to be there at next Saturday's game at 2:00 at McQuaid! It was so much fun shooting the game that I'll try to come by more often.
By the way....scroll down:
Let's see if y'all can top my level of "superfan-ness" from my high school days:
