DescriptionGroup portrait of fifteen young women and five men. The women wear shorts and shirts with the name "Raybestos" on them. Most wear jackets. Shoes, socks, and shinguards are visible on the women kneeling in the front row. Someone, apparently a child, holds his hands up behind the head of the woman in the center. Most of the women are smiling. The men wear jackets and baseball caps or suits and ties. One elderly man wears eyeglasses. A large trophy is on the ground in the center with a plaque, apparently another award, on the grass beside it. The photograph appears to have been taken at night.
