 Kicker, John Rachuna, recovers while head coach Dennis Greene speaks to the team after a tough loss to Hudson valley.

The ECC Kats were undefeated until their homecoming game. The Kats led through the first half, but were overtaken by Hudson Valley in the second. Ironically, the day after this game, the Buffalo Bills, who play just across the street, won for the first time this season.

Excellent use of foreground and middleground elements to complete a story. The foreground man explains the emotion in an otherwise ambiguous scene.
