Tom documented the six-man football team of a small private high school near his home in Dallas, Texas. “I had never heard of the six-man game, as most people are familiar with the traditional 11-man game and came to it by a special connection,” he says.  In six-man the scoring is high and the action is almost non-stop.  The final score of the last game of this particular season was 85 to 86, with the Mighty Lakehill HS Warriors winning the contest. A lot of six-man football is played by small schools in small towns across Texas. The game helps schools with lower enrollments to enjoy the Friday night high school traditions common to Texas. 

Tom photographed all of the home games and traveled to all the games away from home.  He captured the entire experience, even riding on the school’s bus to and from the contest. “I will tell you riding back from a game over an hour away from home with sweaty teenage boys is quite the experience. It was really fun watching, talking and photographing them, the smell on that bus could peel the paint.”  See more imagery from Tom’s Six-Man Football here  and follow @tomhusseyphotography https://www.instagram.com/tomhusseyphotography/ for more updates and stories.  Follow  us here.
