Thank you everyone for all your wonderful comments. Unfortunately I could not clone out the light behind #21's head for this challenge and to be honest I really didn't even notice the light being that distracting when I took the shot and edited it. However this is the same shot that was on the cover of the magazine I shoot for. The only difference is the background has a motion blur in it so everything is more out of focus and less distracting. I just couldn't the motion blur effect for the challenge so I was stuck with the lights. I'll post a picture of the shot and the magazine later today.
Here is a picture of the magazine it was on.

I really like this shot - I would have preferred it with an after the game look. Sweaty dirty and just "spent" leaving it all on the field for the Red Devils. But still giving an 8
I like your blending of flash and ambient here. Knocking down the ambient as much as you did gives it the edgy that i think you were going for. Was the flash gelled to match ambient at all?
