Friday Night Lights - Hidden Figures

On the sideline of a football game it is easy to not notice the many people working to help make sure the game is photographed and broadcasted. They work in the shadows, taking photos, recording the action for the live stream, and gathering quotes and information for articles, all to be published either instantly or later that night. These are the secret members of the Friday Night Lights who help make the game as good as it is. With over half a dozen photographers snapping photos for the yearbook and Talon News, the photos that are uploaded to give real-time score updates are vital to many who can’t attend in person. And without these photos for the yearbook, memories wouldn’t be able to live on. The broadcast team also is in charge of running a live stream of the game for people to watch and is one of the highest quality streams in the state of Texas.

The photographers of the Argyle Yearbook, Talon, and social media are so vital to the game. Without pictures, the game wouldn’t be able to be seen by so many people, and a picture is always worth a thousand words, nothing can replicate the image of a player or a student-athlete. This is also giving students valuable real-world experience, to help with future jobs and careers. The photographers of Argyle are the secret heroes of the game.
