Grit And Glory: Six-man Football

On fall Friday nights as the sun descends below the Western horizon, a ritual plays out under the bright lights, defining lives and teaching life lessons in competition, honor, hard work, defeat and victory. Football is the number one topic of conversation of "Grit and Glory"--six-man football.

On fall Friday nights, as the sun descends below the Western horizon, bleachers fill in cities and small towns across the nation. A ritual played out under bright lights will help define the lives of those gathered and will teach the boys who play about competition, honor, hard work, defeat, and victory. Laura Wilson, photographer and author, documents six-man football with 40 black and white photographs.
