A look at some of the best photos captured by our professional MaxPreps photographers during the season.

Our network of professional photographers spans the nation, and that enables us to get the best high school sports photos in the country - and lots of them.

We went through our galleries and came up with 13 photos that we think are the best of the year. If you know of any others in our galleries that we may have missed, leave a comment with a link to it.
