Okay, we got a mystery to solve. I got the Oct. 2012 issue of Readers Digest today and I guess the theme is "Happiness." Starting on page 130, there's a photo gallery of "What Happy Looks Like," and on page 137 there's this story:

VICTORY -- Tom Hussey

"In 2008 and 2009, I traveled all over North Texas documenting my sons playing football for the Lakehill Preparatory School Warriors, a football team from Dallas that competed with only six players on the field at one time -- instead of the traditional 11 -- and played other small schools that did the same. The games were frentic and high scoring, and in a lot of ways, these boys were the ultimate athletes. Many of them played both offense and defense, and they loved it. I captured this moment of the opposing team after a game in 2009."

Okay, who is the team in the picture? Lakehill now plays crowded field and with a little searching of Granger's 2009 scores database, I came up with four teams that Lakehill lost to -- Dallas Covenant, Greenville Christian, Rockwall Heritage Christian, and Dallas Tyler Street Christian.

I was able to scan it to a jpeg file, but I'm not smart enough to know how to post it to the board. If anybody has an idea, I'll be happy to email the picture to you. (Since it they're not wearing Green, I can eliminate Greenville Christian).

Just thinking ... it would be really neat if it were the Happy H. S. team.

Just thinking ... this may be the most-ever reproduced picture of a sixman football team in history ... according to the RD web site, full circulation is 5.5 million copies.

By the way, my guess is Dallas Covenant.

Get a Flickr account (free), upload the picture to it, and then right click on it and copy the link. Come back here and post the pic by clicking on the "Img" button and post the picture link between the commands.
 
Okay, I've spent ten minutes trying to navigate around flickr, facebook, yahoo and probably now have 87 folks that are going to send me emails for the rest of my life with the best prices on Viagra, life insurance, and how to collect that missing $15 million in Nigeria that's in my name.

As I tell folks, I was hired for my looks, not my brains. If somebody wants to post the picture, I'll send it. Or, you can spend $3.99 at the supermarket checkout and buy the October issue.

But the mystery of the team is solved.

And I was wrong.

It was Rockwall Heritage Christian.
