I'm not a morning person(I even have a coffee cup that I got from somewhere years ago that says this) so when I was told the Seton School send-off for their basketball team was 10 a.m. I wasn't too thrilled about it. Then I found out that there was a pep rally set for 9 a.m.---ughhhhg! But I preach that we should cover things right (these things come back to haunt-always) so up I got to get there in time. And I was glad I did. This small school has a big noise. I entered into the gym to noise makers, foot pounding and cheers(not for me--though I pretended for a moment that they were). This basketball team is one of the top eight teams in the state of Pennsylvania and they will compete this weekend to determine were among the eight they stand. I first saw Tyler Orr, the team manager peaking in from a doorway holding on to the school's flag and thought I might get a pretty good picture. I then had to wait til it all began and I saw the cheerleaders line up. This is where being a newspaper photographer is strange--we get to make an ass of ourselves by getting in the middle of things so I went onto the court and got real close to use the cheerleader arms and poms to frame the action. I admit I'm a bit shy about doing this but again my own words come back to haunt me. I tell my students that you have to determine what kind of picture you want to get and then have the courage to get it. So as I was thinking these words I was running to mid court out in front of all the kids, teachers and their families to snap this picture. Meadville Tribune photograph by Richard Sayer. Good lu
