Steve Sanders comments: "What stands out about this photo is the emotion in Alex's face. You could tell that he's coming off the field after a win, a night game, which just magnifies everything a little bit more, so I put Jacob over there in that spot to capture this type of photograph—the players running off the field towards the tunnel. It's something that we miss sometimes, because we're concerned with what's going on on the field with the players swapping jerseys and that kind of thing, and it's just something you sometimes miss, so we kind of staged him over there to look for a photo like this in particular.

"Sometimes the night photos in the stadium tend to look a little flat, so making it black and white can enrich the detail and give it more of a timeless look."
