This is my first submision and I did not take this for the challenge but happen to have it from the weekend high school game. Brings back memories. This is the original untouched, not my best by far but wanted to get my feet wet.

I also do high school football games and I know the problems that a photographer confronts. Your ISO could be set higher. Most stadiums do not have the greatest lighting systems for action night photos. You run into a depth of field problem because of the lighting. It is challenge to get good action photos. Keep trying as you will learn from your experiences
Wrong shutter speed IMO. It´s either too fast or too slow. You should have tried to freeze the action more or do just the opposite and try a panning kind of shot focusing on just the head of someone. This just looks like camera shake and poor focus. 3
I'm voting this low for a few reasons... first and foremost, because it isn't really in focus. Secondly, I personally don't see how a senior football game is education. I get it, I mean I see how it can be associated with education, but I just won't score it high for a challenge decidedly about education.
