HANNIBAL, Mo. — A new year has begun.

Award-winning freelance photographer Mathew Kirby spent Monday criss-crossing the Hannibal High School campus and venturing out to the Veterans Elementary sports complex as Hannibal teams opened fall practice. He even made it to Norwoods Golf Course for the girls golf team’s practice.

Kirby put together this photo gallery of action from Day 1 as the Pirates prepare for their seasons.
