Tuesday I shot my first softball game of the season. Arvada West hosted the Ralston Valley Mustangs for a conference game. RV was not the same RV I shot 3 years ago, and they ended up getting mercy ruled in the fifth inning. Getting back into softball, there were a couple things I wanted to […]
I hit the Ralston Valley Mustangs gym Thursday night for the volleyball game against Cherry Creek. It was a rough outing for the Mustangs, falling in three straight games to lose the match 0-3. I focused on dig shots this game, trying something new. I got a few good ones. Next game I may look […]
Tuesday’s soccer game at the NAAC in Arvada between visiting Smoky Hill and the home team Ralston Valley Mustangs ended up a surprise in my opinion. It had a few yellow cards and a red card in the game, and I believe at halftime as the officials went to the press box, they ejected a […]
Wow. The Wheat Ridge Farmers boys soccer team went into this game with a record of 4 wins, no losses, and one draw, and Pomona, well the Panthers have been struggling. But, the Panthers scored first and never looked back on a 3-2 win over Wheat Ridge. I started working on a video for shooting […]
Friday was Standley Lake’s homecoming game against Adams City and it was hell. I hate night football. For this game, the only football game of the evening, I tried a new strobe, and I did not like it. I will have to tweak it some before I am happy with it. I used an Adorama […]
Weird that so far, most of the Arvada and Golden schools have been away for their soccer games at the NAAC, and teams from a good distance away are home. Arvada West played Evergreen on Thursday and it was a decent game. First half was all Arvada West. Evergreen just could not seem to get […]
This was my worst soccer game. Something happened with my charger that instead of charging my batteries, they were discharging them. I finally got one battery charged to about 90 percent before I had to leave for the game between Longmont and the Golden Demons…for some reason, Longmont, which is not close by, was the […]
The second game of my Friday double-header had Fountain-Fort Carson visiting the NAAC to face Ralston Valley. It was a polar opposite of the early game in many ways. It was cooler, but not too cool…actually felt pretty good, except for the mosquitoes. I was eaten alive. I need to find where my bug spray […]
I had my first double header football game Friday night. This first game had Mesa Ridge visiting the North Area Athletic Complex to face Standley Lake. It was a gorgeous day and the sun was blazing hot. The game started and it was not to exciting. Seemed like both teams were going three plays and […]
On Thursday I headed to Ralston Valley High School to shoot some volleyball. I love the game, but in all honesty, hate shooting it. You just cannot strobe, unless you are in a huge arena and have strobes mounted in the catwalks. Strobes in a high school gym, unlike basketball, most of the time, cause […]
