-----
While his team was posing for photos celebrating their resounding Philadelphia City Championship victory (Public vs Catholic champions), this young man 'took a knee' away from the joyful hoopla.
----
I wish I knew his story; I do know that when a team member is down on the field (injured) during the game, both teams wait (to show respect) down on one knee while the trainer assesses the injury.
-----
Perhaps he is honoring a friend who couldn't join in the celebration.
-----
I did stop to congratulate him, and he seemed appreciative.

When this team wins, their "special needs" Water Boys are allowed to be the stars and have their photos taken holding the Championship plaque.

  WoW!

Excellent Capture Mickey!
I believe Not knowing the story makes this a powerful image.
It enables all of us to insert our own opinions as to what is going on based on our own experiences

I LOVE It!!

  Great capture, Michelle! I like that we don't know the exact reason he took a moment to himself. It help makes him the terrific subject he is!
