So, after shooting the Oregon and Colorado basketball game in Boulder the night before, I headed to the Denver Coliseum to photograph the Great 8 round for the Boys 5A CHSAA tournament. I was sick as a dog, did not feel like being there, but really wanted to shoot the game. I really liked the […]
I shot my last men’s NCAA basketball game of the season Thursday night. I had a lot going against me as I was suffering from a terrible head cold all week. It started to hit me Sunday night and by Thursday, it was full blown, and this game was the start of a busy weekend […]
Instead of following the Ralston Valley Mustang hockey team down to Denver University to shoot the State Championship, I headed over to Ralston Valley High School to photograph the second round basketball of the CHSAA 5A State Championship game between the visiting Fairview Lady Knights and the Ralston Valley Lady Mustangs. The Mustangs had a […]
I shot the Ralston Valley Mustang’s last home boys basketball game Wednesday night. It was the first round of the CHSAA 5A basketball playoffs against the Smoky Hill Buffaloes. While RV had not dominated the Jeffco 5A League this season, they have had some moments of brilliance and tonight was one of those nights. Ralston […]
The Rubber Match. One win apiece for each team. The first win went to Standley Lake earlier in the season when they hosted Ralston Valley at the Promenade in Westminster. The second game was Ralston Valley’s just over a week earlier than this third and deciding game. The winner would go to the Frozen Four […]
A few posts back, for the ASU-Colorado Hoops game I quoted Tad Boyle saying “Welcome to Pac-12 Football”. Well, let me start off this post by saying welcome to the UFC!. The officials in the first game let some things go penalty wise, but they kept the game under control. Thank goodness we had different […]
High school hockey started to come to a close for me as Apex Ice Arena hosted two games for the Sweet 16 and one Elite 8 game. The first game was between the Standley Lake Gators and the Valor Christian Eagles. The winner of this game would face the winner of the Bishop Machebeuf and […]
A short week for the Buffaloes as their only opponent this week was the Utah Utes as they came across the Continental Divide to face their Pac-12 rivals. Colorado was looking at bouncing back from their second loss this season to Arizona State. The Buffs were without freshman forward Josh Scott who was listed as […]
Boy, Ralston Valley has really turned this season around. After going into the losers bracket in their own preseason tournament and then falling to around 5th or so in the Jeffco 5A league standings, the win at Arvada West a couple weeks ago really turned the page on the Mustangs season. Going into this game […]
I took Saturday afternoon away from the Arvada Hockey Association tournament to photograph the Arizona State Wildcats take on the Colorado Buffaloes. As coach Tad Boyle called it, Pac-12 Football. I have never seen a more physical game, and I have played in games that have broken out in fist fights. There is not much […]
