The long, the short and the tall

Another snap from our Area Schools tournament. Have taken over 300 shots over the last 5 days but this is one of my favourites. Stacey ( the short!) is one of our young Year 9 students who is down with us because we are short of numbers of senior boys/ and he's earned a place. This is him playing touch and coming up against two very large Reefton boys. The picture depicts both Stacey's and Kiwi kids as a whole's determination to not be cowed. He spent the week competing well against guys double his size and matched them every step of the way.
