Carson High Boys Varsity Basketball Opener… Dayton High Boys Varsity Basketball

Tonight was the first round of the Capital Classic Basketball Tournament hosted by Carson High.  The third game of the night was Dayton vs. Wooster with Dayton winning… then Carson took on South Tahoe, Carson with the win.  Considering this was the team’s second day as a “formed” unit (the final team “picks” were done yesterday…) Carson looked pretty good… they clearly have work to do, but for just getting out there and more or less winging it… well done fellas!

Here are some shots of Dayton and Carson… more to follow tomorrow… Carson plays Dayton at 7:30 tomorrow night back at Carson High.  Should be a good match up….  Check out the full galleries at the links on the side under Current Events.

Basketball season is here! Carson High vs. Reno High…

Carson High kicked off the basketball season hosting Reno High tonight… The JV boys, JV Girls and Varsity Girls played tonight… the Varsity Boys team is still not official as the football players that played Saturday have only just had an opportunity to get out to the court… so the Varsity Boy’s will kick off their season on Thursday night against South Tahoe during the tournament they’re hosting this weekend…

Check out the rest of the game action at the links on the side…

Here are some shots from the night…

Carson High vs. Reed High NIAA 4A Northern Championship Football

Reed High is the NIAA North Section 4A Champion… and are headed to the State Championship game against Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas) next Saturday (12:15 kickoff) at Damonte Ranch High School in South Reno.

I’m not a “football” person so I don’t know the in’s and out’s of the “finer” points of the game… but to me, the casual observer/photographer… Reed had Carson’s number today in every way imaginable…

This photo exemplifies Carson’s game today for me… Dylan vs 5 Reed defenders… and the second photo Dylan with the paws of two Reed Raiders all over him…

This was my first time ever at Mackay Stadium at UNR… the shadow from the press/sky box area put a very long shadow over the game for much of the second half which creates a not very friendly shooting situation… My focus today was to try to get more of Carson and not really shoot too much of Reed… but I was able to get off a few shots of Reed at the end of the game still in good light.

So this ends the season for Carson… League Champions three seasons in a row… a Championship game in Mackay Stadium… I know they’re not ending the way they wanted but all in all, a good season in most people’s books!

Now onto basketball season… Tuesday!  No break in the fun!!  See you out on the court.

Middle School Basketball…

If you follow my site during the year you’ll see some familiar faces here!  The middle schools are on a different schedule than the high school for basketball so this was a good warm up for me… These “tweener” times (between seasons) can be a little strange… shoot basketball at 3:00 and 4:00 then football at 7:00… how fun is that! 🙂  Here are a few shots from the galleries in the menu on the side.

Carson High vs. Bishop Manogue High Football… Playoffs…

Carson hosted Bishop Manogue tonight… after the fire and incredible winds we had on Friday, the North Section Semifinals were moved to… Monday Night Football!!  Just can’t resist that!  🙂

The first half was close but in “Roman” Fashion, adjustments were made and the second half swung Carson’s way for a 32-21 victory….  This puts Carson playing Reed (who defeated Douglas tonight…) on Saturday at UNR’s Mackay Stadium at Noon.

To see the rest of the season of images… click on the school from the side menu Current Events.  We’ll see you out at the game on Saturday!

Here are some shots from tonights game…

The Manogue QB… he saw a lot of action tonight, Carson kept him on his toes and he threw the ball… a lot…

… but tonight was about celebration for Carson…  Here Big Luke after his TD reception… (this is what happens when you try to capture a celebration with a very large lens standing way too close… but I liked it…)…

… and after Brock’s TD reception…

… and of course, Mr. Sawyer’s saw the ball a lot tonight…

Carson High Football, First Round of Playoffs!!

Carson took away a win tonight… they had a sizable lead at the half, 31-0 and ended up with a win 44-17… and a few “upsets” across the league… I think most people would have picked McQueen to beat Manogue… didn’t happen, well done Manogue… as well I think Reno was “expected” to beat Douglas… didn’t happen, well done Douglas!!!

Next week will be Carson hosting Manogue and Reed hosting Douglas.  Should be some great football for the second round of Northern Region 4A NIAA Football!

Here are some shot from tonights game.  See the rest at the link on the side for Carson High Athletics.  See you next week at the game!

I tried to give the fellas in the trenches some time tonight…

And of course, the usual suspects!  🙂
