My last story for Life magazine gave me a new lease on life. It was about a little Catholic school in Jersey City, NJ winning a national basketball championship. After photographing this story I looked over the negatives and realized I had witnessed something special. I knew their story wasn’t just about basketball. I decided to document their story from the inside.
They were good enough to trust me with their story. This small group of nuns and brothers, lay teachers, a phenomenal coach and an amazing group of inner city kids came together in a distinct moment of time to form a bond of trust, teamwork and success.
I could not have done it without the help and encouragement of my good friends Lyonelle Le Piouff and Dominique Cruchon.
