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!

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!

The Nevada District 1 Little League Juniors Division Championship teams are set… Centennial will play Reno American Friday, July 12th at Governor’s Field in Carson City, NV.  Game time is 7:30.  Based on the first time these two teams faced each other yesterday, should be a good game!

Here’s some action from tonight’s action, Carson City vs. Reno American…

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.

Here are some shots from tonights game… starting with a killer moon over the hills!

Congratulations to the Reno Continental LL 12 year old’s!!  They will represent Nevada’s District 1 at the State Tournament in Las Vegas!  They went 4-0 in the tournament.

Reno Continental 12’s…

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!

The 11-12 year old Championship teams have been set!  Reno Continental will face Carson Valley on Tuesday night at 7:30 on field 2 at Governor’s Field in Carson City, NV.  Come on out and see who wins the Nevada District 1 Little League Championship!!

The Photo of the Day today was an easy pick for me! Devin pitched a complete game tonight for the Carson Valley 12’s to lead them into the Championship!  He has reason to celebrate! 

The 10’s and 11’s have crowned their Champs… so now we’re onto just the 12’s at the park… and boy were there some battles tonight!  WOW!  If you’re not out at the park you’re missing some great games… and they’re free!  Come on out to Governor’s Field in Carson City, NV to catch the rest of the tournament!

Here’s the Photo of the Day… this photo just emphasizes the importance of every play toward “winning”… Carson Valley beat Reno American 13-12…  See you out at the fields!

Congratulations to the Washoe Little League 9-10 Year Old All Stars and the Centennial Little League 10-11 Year Old All Stars!  These two teams will represent Nevada’s District 1 at the State Tournament!!  Good luck!

The Washoe 9-10’s!

The Centennial 10-11’s!

Whew, tonight is over!  This is our seventh year doing either the Renegade/Hooligan Tournament (2008, 2012) or the All Star Tournament (2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013) and this is the first year we’ve had an official lightning delay!  Fires popping up on the foothills around us tonight as the weather put on a light and sound show….  This of course pushed the evening very late… so just a quick post here….

Here’s the Photo of the Day, I can’t pass this one up, this was a game changing homer… South Tahoe’s 12’s team went into the top of the 7th inning tied 2-2 with Carson Valley… this homer and the next batter’s homer changed EVERYTHING at the field, it really deflated the Carson Valley team….
