Students, community members rally for gender-affirming care

“Friday Night Sights” is a long-running series in the Columbia Missourian newspaper that spotlights the magic and wonder of high school football across mid-Missouri. Each week, we as editors sent out teams of photographers to local games to capture everything on and off the field. The athletes themselves only make up part of what makes high school football so unique. It is the band, the cheerleaders, the fans and everything in between that creates such an electric environment.
