1st Place - Element of Design - August 2015
I went to the last practice of our football team.
The bleachers were empty but the Saskatchewan Roughriders were hard at it, preparing for their final game.
I "caught" the ball as it flew through the air past the empty bleachers.
Our team has had a very disheartening year but in Rider Nation we bleed green for our team no matter what. (Our colours are green and white.)
