2013 NIAA Northern Division 1 Football, Carson vs. McQueen

I heard 1989 being thrown out tonight… Carson hasn’t won against McQueen since 1989…. And in a remarkable fashion Carson “gritted” it out tonight for a 19-6 win over the Lancers! This one will be remembered at Carson High for some time…

Well what a night!  The night started out giving us a little “refreshment” from the sky… it poured for awhile and the game got under way 20 minutes late due to a lightning strike… but just as we were all making our way back to the field we were treated to this…instaimage_130913_Carson High Football_Rainbow

… and this… you just can’t stand there and NOT take a photo of this stuff… I mean, come on, it’s beautiful!!

When the game starts out like this… (notice the McQueen player launching himself to tackle Joey…) you know it’s going to be a “gritty” game…!

Nevin was a battering ram tonight… working his way “through” people, why bother going around just bowl them over… or pick them up…instaimage_130913_Carson High Football_NevinRun

And the hits kept coming from Carson… the fellas played with a lot of heart tonight, it was really great to see and be a part of… Here Andrew made a cracking tackle late in the 4th quarter to stop McQueen.instaimage_130913_Carson High Football_AndrewTackle … and all of that great football lead to a lot of these happy faces… Toga… maybe you’re on to something? 🙂instaimage_130913_Carson High Football_Crowd… and a final score… two touch downs, a field goal and a safety.  Carson certainly had McQueen’s number tonight… a game which saw a lot of run plays and some tough gritty defense… what fun!

2013 High School Football is just a week away!!

The smoke from the Rim fire squashed any hopes of seeing any scrimmage action today in the Northern Nevada Region… so we’ll look back and see a few things I captured last season!  I’m out of town the next two weeks… so there won’t be any updates for a bit… but stay tuned… Football, Volleyball and Soccer are all on the schedule!  I’ll see you out at the fields soon!2013 Football-01 2013 Football-02 2013 Football-03 2013 Football-04 2013 Football-05 2013 Football-06 2013 Football-07 2013 Football-08 2013 Football-09 2013 Football-10 2013 Football-11 2013 Football-12

Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 16

These Junior Division games are quite exciting!  I’m not sure I can say for all the “right” reasons… but boy are they entertaining!  WOW!  Tonight was the Championship Game… well “IF” that is… “IF” Centennial won, being the winners bracket teams… well after 3 1/2 hours Reno American sent the game into the “IF” scenario for tomorrow night… so they will face each other again tomorrow evening at 7:30 PM again at Governor’s field in Carson City, NV.

Just one photo from the night… and I’ll have to say, sometimes what you’re intending to shoot just doesn’t quite come out how you were thinking when you shoot it… and then it comes out BETTER than you hoped!  This is one of those cases… a play at home, you never know what might come of these… and I got this!  I’d have to say this is my favorite photo of the tournament… fitting that on my last day of shooting I should get my favorite photo of the tournament!130712_Junior Little League_Mike

The Junior division started up last night on Field 1 at Governor’s Field in Carson City, NV.  There are three teams in District 1, Carson City, Centennial and Reno American.  Tonight Reno American faced Centennial… the game ended up going an extra inning!  A good close battle that ended 8-10 in favor of the “visiting” Centennial.  Carson City will face Reno American Thursday to decide who will play Centennial for the Championship on Friday.

The third place game will be at 7:30 PM tomorrow night (same time as the Championship…) on Field 4 at Governor’s Field in Carson City… Tonight Reno American and Washoe battled for a place in the third place game against South Tahoe Little League… Washoe prevailed in six innings… the final score was 18-14!!  WOW! Fun game, a lot of runs, home runs, etc…

Here’s the Photo of the Day… I was torn between a home run hit or this… I like the lingering dust off of the glove!130708_Washoe LL_Photo of the Day
