I was asked by the Las Vegas Sun to shoot the UNLV vs. UNR football game this weekend, here are some of my shots from the night. The Cannon will be painted red and on it’s way back to Las Vegas.
Carson won at home against Damonte Ranch 17-14.
The hype about this game being close was no joke! And the game delivered a great deal of entertainment…. In my opinion the score doesn’t really reflect the overall “feel” of the game, Damonte started off strong (and Carson started slow…) and passed one into the end zone to take a quick early lead 7-0 and then looked to be threatening again but were picked off by double coverage in the end zone to end their second drive… then Carson got going… and after that, the “tone” of the game seemed to be all Carson… The offense wasn’t as successful as in games past but we all knew this was the game for first place in the Sierra League for 2015.
Here are some shots from the night.

Very quick post tonight, it’s homecoming week so there are a lot of events going on… Soccer all day tomorrow at the school… 🙂
The team was fired up at the start tonight… homecoming week, there were a lot of things going on at the school and before the game… it was a pretty exciting atmosphere tonight… 
A big congratulations to the entire homecoming court… it seems like just a few days ago I started photographing you all but it’s been eight years if you can believe that… all of you have grown up right before me… baseball, soccer, cheer, softball, football, volleyball, track, basketball… it’s been a lot of fun!
OH, and a game happened tonight too! The Carson Senators rolled to an easy victory over the Hug Hawks… the Hawks were without their starting quarterback, would have been nice to see him fit to play to see what they were capable of…
There were some impressive plays tonight… Abel Carter’s run early in the first quarter was impressive, one of the coaches was telling me seeing it from the booth, he wanted to see a replay of it because the cuts he made and the moves… going to be fun watching Abel for the next few years! Here he his making the fist touchdown run…

Not pulling any punches here tonight… the Senators took it straight at North Valleys tonight and strolled away with a 45-7 win… You can look through the photos from tonight’s game… a lot of defense shots of the line backers trying to make pretzels out of the the North Valleys players… of course there are some offensive shots too… Abel Carter breaking one open and running 90 yards for a touch down…
All that said… North Valleys is going to cause some anxiety in some teams this year… they did move the ball against the Senators, but when it got to the red zone, the Senators tightened up and stopped them frequently.
Here are some shots from the night…

Out of the blue about a week ago I was asked by 27OutsBaseball.com to shoot the Reno Aces… we’re very late in the season so I’m only able to get to one game, here are some shots from last nights game. Reno battled back from being down to win 6-5. The five game series continues with a double header on Saturday and a game Sunday and Monday… and the Aces are having fireworks after! They put on a good fireworks show!!
The 2015 Northern Nevada High School Football Season has begun! Tonight Carson and Reed had the privilege of playing under the lights at Mackay Stadium on the University of Nevada, Reno campus… (more on this later…).
Reed took things straight to Carson and racked up a good number of points in a very short period and easily defeated the Senators 44-27.
Here are some photos from the night.

Touchdown Reed…
A beautiful big full moon over the stadium tonight!
Mr. Denn took to the sky ALL night to night with a lot of passes, much more than I’m used to seeing at the high school level… Reed is going to score a lot of points this year… likely in preparation for meeting Bishop Gorman again in the State Championship again….
This was not a common sight tonight… Reed running the ball….
Just like this shot so I had to put it in… bodies flying….
As nice as it was for the fellas to be able to play under the lights in Mackay Stadium… that was ALL they got to do… they couldn’t even go in the locker rooms at half time… kinda tacky UNR… not exactly the way to show potential future players what your program has to offer… I’m 100% positive if any of them go on a recruiting trip ANYWHERE they’ll at least be shown the locker room….

Here’s a shot from the day… good to be back shooting this event, we tried to schedule around it last year but ended up scheduling over it instead… it’s nice to be back and see so many familiar faces!
Congratulations to the Centennial Junior Little League All Star team! They defeated Reno American tonight to take the title! They’re off to the State Tournament shortly! Well done fellas, good luck at State!
The Championship is set! Centennial will play Reno American for the Junior Little League All Star Championship on Saturday night at Governor’s field in Carson City, NV.
The Photo of the Day… something a little more “fun” tonight… I get to see a lot of balls go by batters… makes for a lot of deleted photos… but sometimes you get one like this… Just makes me smile, what’s going through his mind right at this split second? 🙂
And now we’re down to three… Truckee defeated North Tahoe today and will play Reno American tomorrow as the loser’s bracket semi-final. Centennial will play the winner on Saturday for the Championship. Game time tomorrow is 6:30 PM. The Championship on Saturday is at 7:00 PM.
The Photo of the Day… some stuff you know is happening but you just can’t see it… this pitcher picked off at least one first base runner with only this little glance to check the runner at 1st. 🙂
