NIAA Regional Championship Wrestling… Finals!!

A VERY big Congratulations to all of the wrestlers today… and to the host Carson Senators for their Zone Championship.  The North will be well represented in Vegas next week when the group of Northern Region 4A Wrestlers heads down to the State Tournament at Cox Arena.  Here are just a few shots from today… See more at the link on the side or click HERE (just FYI… there are 13 pages of images… so look at the header to be sure you’ve reached the end…)

This shot ended the competition!  This fella looked up and smiled as he was pinning his opponent!!  I love it!!

Nico from Carson… dedicated his run for a State Championship to his friends Stephen and Keegan who lost their lives a little less than a year ago in a scuba accident… his pin in the Championship helped secure the Team Zone Championship for Carson.

… and coach McCarthy accepting the Zone Championship from the NIAA… A good day for Coach McCarthy… League Championship, Check… Zone Championship, Check… His son winning a Zone Championship, Check!!

NIAA Regional Championship Wrestling tonight… and all day tomorrow!!

The Northern Region 4A Championships are this weekend at Carson High.  Carson High is in command of the Team points lead after the first day… The evening ended tonight with Colby Brown taking his match by pin to a roar of the Carson Team and Crowd… all eyes were on him!

Stop by the Carson Gym on Saturday for the rest of the meet.  It’s very exciting to watch!!

Here are a few photos from tonight… check out the rest at the link on the side….

Carson High Basketball Senior Night…

Carson High Basketball Senior night last night!  Both Varsity teams came away with a win…  Here is a little gallery of the seniors… see the rest at the link to the side…

Seasons don’t always go the way we’d like… the memories from your times in high school will travel with you forever!  Good luck to you all!

And the “parting shot” for the night is of Coach Ackerman… right as the game was ending he finally cracked a smile!

Carson vs. Bishop Manogue Basketball tonight @ Carson High

What a night of basketball!  After the two JV games the Girls battled out a close finish, Manogue taking the win and I believe solidifying their first place in League… and the Carson boys squeaked out a win in overtime 73-70.

Here are some photo from the night…see all the action at the links on the side for the respective school… one more league night and then onto playoffs for the teams in the top 4 of each league.

Carson Douglas Basketball @ Carson January 27, 2012

Carson Douglas Rivalry Basketball tonight at Carson High… There was a lot of “action” in the Boys JV game… 🙂  I’ll leave it at that… (sorry guys, I DO NOT have a photo of the “action” either… too many bodies in the way…)

The Carson Girls Varsity won and the Douglas Boys Varsity won… the Boys Varsity game went into overtime!!  What a HUGE turnaround from the CHS/DHS game at Douglas!!  Here are some photos from the night (click on them to see them bigger)… there are more at the link on the side.

Carson High Basketball… vs. Wooster

Straight to the photos tonight!  The Varsity Girls won, the Varsity Boys lost…

I was messing around with a fisheye tonight during the JV Boys game… Shoot me a comment if you like it… the black in the corners is because I’m using a “crop” bodied camera… if this was a full frame camera the image would be round… stay tuned for that…

Onto the game action… more “playing” at the very end…

So I had this idea with another lens… didn’t have it tonight so I thought I’d at least play a bit to see what I could get… this happens to be a Rafe free throw… pretty good chance it will go in with him shooting!  🙂

The blur in the net and ball is because the shutter speed of the camera is low… this photo also shows the lack of “fans” in the stands… so I might be trying this again later with some “ambiance” in the background… 🙂  See you next time!

Carson Douglas Basketball tonight at Douglas…

Four games tonight after driving home from Monterey (5.5 hours)… and after my 5 Mile Monterey Run this morning… I’m beat!  The 5 miles is to try to get trimmed back down… O.L.D. and… one I can do something about!  🙂

Tonights games… The Carson Girls Varsity won and the Douglas Boys dominated… The Carson Boys fought back a bit in the second half but it was far too late as the Tigers rode off into the sunset with the win… can’t wait to read the paper tomorrow about this one… sorry Carson fellas…  here are a few photos from tonights games… more on the site using the links to the side….
