Carson High vs. Douglas High Basketball, January 26, 2016

Carson Douglas always brings a crowd… tonight was a little disappointing to me but I get that it’s Tuesday night and there are a lot of things going on….

The Carson Boys continued their dominance of the Northern Region and extended their league record to 11-0 with a win tonight over Douglas.

Be sure to check out all the images in the galleries for the schools in the menus.

The Carson student section is always entertaining… 🙂160126_7645

Carson High vs. McQueen High Basketball, January 8, 2016

It’s good to be back at Carson High!  That sounds kinda strange but it’s been some time since the last home football game in November… and while I’ve been at the school to take team photos, it’s nice to be back seeing some action! 🙂

The Boys haven’t had many home games yet this year due to some… well, I’ll call it “creative scheduling”… but they’re on a roll this year and they’re fun to watch, they play hard and last night, although the score seemed a little lopsided, they kept the pressure on and wouldn’t let McQueen get any taste of making a run… it was a very pleasant surprise to come back to!

A quick shout out to Kyle, nice job on your “estimate”, I’ll give you the one point! 🙂

Here are some images from the evening.  If you can get out to some games, I’d highly recommend it, this is a fun team to watch!!  They play the rest of their home games on Tuesdays for the balance of the season… Damonte, Galena, Douglas, Wooster, Manogue (those are the next five Tuesday’s in order…)… Hope to see you out at a game!

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? 🙂

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. 🙂Truckee Junior All Star

2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 13

And then there were four… two teams exited the tournament Wednesday night… Carson City lost a close error filled game against Truckee and Reno National lost to North Tahoe.  This puts North Tahoe playing Truckee and Reno American will play Centennial (winner’s bracket) on Thursday.

Photo of the Day… sometimes you are “over lensed”, meaning I’m too close to get the entire piece of action… with the larger junior fields (high school and up as well…) I shoot with a larger lens than when I shoot Little League… and when the action happens you have to decide if you’re going to try to shoot or not… here’s an example, I pushed the shutter button and hoped I got something… 🙂Carson City Junior All Star

2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 12

The weather would lead you to believe there are no games going on… but the evenings have been great for shooting because the sky is a great big soft pillow of light and there haven’t been any harsh shadows on the faces… this is great for photos!! 🙂

2015 Nevada District 1 Little League All Star Tournament, Day 11

Congratulations to the 11 year old Reno National team and the 12 year old Washoe Team on your Nevada District 1 Little League Championships!!!

Two very good games!  And this was the first year in all 9 of my years of doing these tournaments that I got to shoot the 12 year old championship game without the consolation championship also being played… 🙂

Here’s the 11’s Reno National Team!  Congrats Fellas!Reno National Little League All Star Champions

And the 12’s Washoe Team! Congrats Fellas!!Washoe Little League All Star Champions

 

And I can’t resist this shot… I’ve gone with two “jube” photos already and am going to end the first leg of the tournament with one last one… This is the same pitcher that I had for photo of the day earlier for his intensity… and face…

The celebrations are priceless!  I love this shot!Washoe Little League All Star Champions
