Description


----
For the last few days I've been posting shots showing the emotion of the losers of the Philadelphia Public League (high school)football championship game.
----
But here's a shot from the previous week's semi-final game, where the future "losers" earned the right to fight for the title.
----
I don't recall if either player came up with this reception. But the guy on the right represents the team that made it to the finals and then lost in a heartbreaking rout.
---
In THIS game, the HOME team were the sad defeated.
