Kpreps.com is pleased to officially announce that Karrie Rathbone has been awarded the Grand Prize for the 2021 Kpreps Friday Night Photo Contest.
Karrie’s winning photo captures quarterback Matthew Potucek (5) preparing for the snap as his Hillsboro Trojans close in on scoring a touchdown at Marion. Hillsboro went on to defeat its nearby rival, 56-8, back on October 8th. The two towns are separated by approximately 10 miles.
“Each year it is extremely difficult to select a grand prize-winning photo,” Kpreps’ Managing Partner Matt Gilmore said. “I felt that Karrie’s photo captures the essence of high school football in many of our small communities across Kansas. The scene from the end zone with the water tower in the back ground, book-ended by the two Marion defenders (Trevor Schafers-30 & Cole Smith-56) just made for a fantastic shot. It’s a photo that gives the viewer the feeling that they’re standing right there in the end zone.”
Karrie wins $500 cash for her 2021 winning photograph.
