Photo of Beachsides' Tom Valenti finally getting a break after playing most of the half without water.

The Beachside Tomcats' Steve Valenti finally gets a break after playing nearly an entire half without a break and with little water during their game against the Predators in Nashua, New Hampshire. Teams that are on the road often have far less players show up than they do at home games. In this case the Tomcats had just enough players there to have a game. A few more showed up shortly before halftime.


Photojournalist Remarks

It's pretty obvious from looking at Valenti in the foreground and the other players in the background that all is not going well. I remember one player asking the coach for a break and getting the response that he would love to do that, but couldn't because he had no players to spare. By the time reinforcements arrived near halftime some players were pretty beat.
