The Carson High Girl’s hosted Incline High tonight… The Senators came a way with two wins, mostly a practice game as Incline is a 2A school so the scores were a little lopsided… Some good practice between league games and tournament action… the Carson Girls head off to Vegas for a tournament after Christmas…  The Boys return to action next Thursday evening at Carson High vs. Reno, a rescheduled non-league game from when Carson was short the football players….  Here are a few shots from tonight’s game.  Check out the rest at the link on the side for Carson High Athletics.

… and from the JV game…

 

Lots of basketball tonight!  These game nights can be great for me, I get to switch from one end of the court every 8-15 minutes (between quarters or between games…) and cover 4 Carson High teams in one night!  Lots of basketball…!  Here are a few shots from the night…. check out the rest of our game action at the links on the side under Current Events.

This afternoon Carson hosted Damonte Ranch at the Capital Classic Basketball Tournament.  Damonte squeaked out the win in the end but it was a seesaw battle at the end…  It’s very interesting for me to see some of these faces on the court… this is my third year covering basketball at Carson… some of these seniors I’ve only see in other sports… as always, its VERY interesting to see who excels at each sport.  Here are just a few shots from today… Dayton also played for the 3rd place spot today and couldn’t rally a come back and lost to Sparks.  Those two schools should have some great battles against each other during league!

See all the action at the links on the side for your school…

The Carson High Boys Varsity took on Dayton tonight in only their second game of the season… For most of the game Carson had a decent point advantage, Dayton was able to even the score in the later part of the 4th quarter… but Carson pulled away and took win number two for the season….  This puts them into the Championship for the Capital Classic on Saturday @ 2:30 PM.  Get out there and support your team!!

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.

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…

Here are some shots from the night…

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.
