Patriots Vs. Falcons at The Palace of Auburn Hills
----------- School Patriots play ----------- Falcons February 4 2017 at the Palace of Auburn Hills. It was an intense game with multiple overtimes, ending with a one point loss for the Patriots.
February 4th of 2017, the day before the Super Bowl when the New England Patriots played the Atlanta Falcons, two high school basketball teams had the opportunity to play at the Detroit Pistons’ Palace, and ironically their team names were the Patriots and Falcons.
The Patriots hail from my old school, and since I have relatives still attending there, I was permitted to attend the game and the school’s photographers stated they would “claim” me so I could shoot ON THE COURT!
I had the amazing privilege and opportunity to shoot as an actual photographer and photojournalist for my old school at a court I grew up hearing as a stage for professional teams. It was such an amazing experience and I took plenty of pictures- over 2,000! I think that’s a new record for me.
