I photographed a Wesleyan School football practice for the Peachtree Corners Patch newspaper on Wednesday, August 17, 2011. The Wolves have been a Class A powerhouse in the Gwinnett area for the past three or so years. The team is led by head coach Franklin Pridgen. Pridgen and his staff have three region championships, two final four appearances and a state championship under their belts since 2008. This year the team has 14 returning seniors. These are my favorite images from practice.
