Four groups of players and personalities from the Indiana Pacers were out and about Friday in the Indianapolis area, attending high school football games as part of the #touchdownpacers program.
And one of our professional photographers was on hand at one of those games to get images of Paul George, George Hill, Damjan Rudez and Adonis Thomas at Center Grove High. Rob Baker captured images of the four before
Center Grove (Greenwood, Ind.) took on
Indianapolis Cathedral.
For George,
it's not his only high school-centric work. Back in August, he switched numbers and therefore had to purchase the remaining replica jerseys, so he donated all those jerseys with the old number to students and staff at his alma mater, Knight (Palmdale, Calif.).
