Carson High Volleyball…

Some volleyball action tonight from Carson High… All three teams played tonight, they resume action Thursday on the Road, good luck ladies!

Laura keeps getting better and better singing the National Anthem, I just LOVE this moment at games… and the flag at Carson High in the gym is impressively huge!

Click on Carson High Athletics to the side for more game action!  See you next time!

Some JV and Freshman Action too…!

Carson High Boy’s Soccer…

Carson High hosted Reno High on Wednesday… The Senator’s Varsity didn’t play “as well as we can,” quoting Coach Masters (Nevada Appeal) and dropped one 1-2 to Reno in this opening home game for the season.  The Carson JV Squad opened the season with a 4-0 win.  Here are some game shots… see more on the website, click Carson High Athletics to the left!

Flying through the air… the right winger takes the ball in stride down the touch line…

You should check out the photos last year of this central defender… you won’t recognize him (haircut…)!  Always a pleasure to watch this fella, always giving his all on the field, great to see!
Jason added a penalty kick to even the score but Reno came back in the end during the run of play to score the go ahead…

And some JV action… first up a penalty kick, both feet in the air again!

I just like this shot, show the control and intensity of the game… can’t get the love of the game out of this photographer!!

Carson vs. McQueen Varsity Football

Carson hosted a scrimmage today against McQueen High… it was a new experience for me, never been to a high school football “scrimmage” before… interesting day for sure!  Here are some shots from the “scrimmage”.  My understanding is that they don’t play each other during the season and would only meet if they both reach the playoffs.  Good luck to all the teams this year!

See all the action by clicking on the links in League & Events or in the Current Events section in the sidebars.  Let me know which photos you can’t live without!

I’m sure Carson is hoping they’ll see this sight a lot this season!  This is their linebacker after an intercepted pass returning the ball!

I love the intensity in his eyes!

Carson tried out several fellas running the ball today…

There’s a battle for the starting QB position at Carson, here’s a shot of each of the candidates!

Swim Action… High Country Championship Swim Meet

Here are some shots from today… this first one was my test shot… a shot that I take every event we do… I just typically “kinda” aim the camera somewhere… quite literally I just point it somewhere, just holding it in my hand, not looking through the viewfinder… and click… well, this is what came out of the camera!  We liked it… so I kept it!  What I like the best about it, 100% unintentional… is that I’ve got the Lane 4 Blocks… if I was going to compose a shot like this, the Lane 4 blocks would be the one that I’d want… dumb luck sometimes makes something nice!

Some race action!  Each of the strokes for a little variety.  I’m doing something “different” tomorrow at the  tent… We always have samples… I’m bringing a “different” sample tomorrow for a change… I’m anxious to see the reaction.  Maybe make a “splash”!  🙂

Nevada District 1 All Stars… Day 13

“if”…

It happened tonight!  Washoe got the better of Carson tonight, they meet again tomorrow and the Nevada District 1 11/12 Champion will be crowned!  Good luck to both teams, tonight was a good close game, good hard play by both teams, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s game!

A little Carson batting action for the Photo of the Day… stop by and collect your Photo of the Day prize!

Nevada District 1 All Stars… Day 12

Just one game tonight… lots of runs, very close finish… looked like it was going to possibly be a quick one… but Reno American came back and won it by one run!  Photo of the day, something a little different… there are hits and home runs and pitching on the site from tonight… this one just makes me smile…

Nevada District 1 All Stars… Day 11

The tournament is winding down… only two games tonight… only one game tomorrow, then Championship Night on Tuesday!  It’s going to be a showdown between Carson and Washoe for the District Championship!!  Carson coming from the winner’s bracket and Washoe coming up through the looser’s bracket beating Sparks Centennial tonight.

The Photo of the Day… The Ball or the Man… who’s going to get there first?

Nevada District 1 All Stars… Day 10

Big night… I’ve got three photos and four “recipients” of the Photo of the Day awards…

First… take a look at this photo… look where the ball is… Sometimes you get it just right… that throw was right in the path of the runner… who knows how what might have happened if this throw was off just a little bit…  Catcher (obviously not pictured…), GREAT throw, bring your shortstop by for a Photo of the Day prize!

Two more… both from the Wahoe team… two dingers tonight (there were more, I just didn’t get the ball in the frame with those… 🙂 )  You can JUST see the ball in the second one leaving the frame… I left off the vingette so it shows up…!  Great job fellas!  Stop by our tent for your Photo of the Day prize!
