Season’s End / But The Story Lives On Another high school football season has come to a close. As a photographer, I get to stand just outside the huddle, close enough to feel the emotion, but far enough to see the bigger picture. I’ve witnessed the highs, the celebrations, the late-game comebacks, the moments that turn into memories. And I’ve seen the lows , the injuries, the heartbreak, the quiet tears under helmets when it all sinks in that this chapter just ended. What makes this game incredible isn’t just the touchdowns or the trophies it’s the character it builds. It’s the way a team becomes family, how young athletes grow into leaders, and how coaches shape hearts as much as plays. To every player who gave their all, every parent who cheered through the cold, and every teammate who picked someone up when it hurt the most, thank you for letting me capture a piece of your story. These photos aren’t just images. They’re reminders of what it feels like to chase something bigger than yourself. Until next season…keep your heads high, your hearts full, and your dreams alive. Join us at unbreakable on skool to keep inspiring. (Link in bio) #DheillyFirePhotography #ReginaFootball #FridayNightLights #HighSchoolFootball #Unbreakable

You ever notice how some of the toughest battles we face happen when no one’s around? No uniform, no crowd, no one cheering you on, just you and your thoughts at 2 in the morning trying to keep it together. Lately I’ve been reminded that healing isn’t always pretty. It’s slow, messy, and some days it just feels like you’re spinning your tires. But that’s part of it. Some days being Unbreakable just means not giving up, even when you don’t feel strong at all. If you’re in that place right now, I get it. You’re not alone here. We’ve all had those nights, those moments where you just try to find your footing again. What’s one small thing that’s helped you keep going lately? Doesn’t have to be big: maybe a walk, a song, your dog, or just a quiet moment where you remembered who you are. Drop it in the comments because someone might need to read it tonight.

“When you have your health, you have everything. When you don’t, nothing else matters.” It’s one of those sayings you don’t truly understand until life forces you to. When you’re healthy, you chase goals, chase success, chase the next thing. But when your health slips — physically or mentally — all of that suddenly fades into the background. The meetings, the money, the likes, the titles… they stop meaning anything. You start realizing how fragile this whole thing is. Health isn’t just about how strong your body is — it’s your peace, your energy, your ability to wake up and actually feel alive.When that’s taken from you, you’d give anything to get it back. So if you’re healthy today — appreciate it. Protect it. Because being “unbreakable” doesn’t mean you never fall apart — it means you fight to heal, to get back up, to rebuild your strength one day at a time.

Friday nights under the lights. Back in high school football, I had the same routine every single game—same breakfast, same lunch, and even the same pre-game snack. It was my way of locking in. What about you? Did you have a game day ritual or routine that never changed?
