The Lady Wildcats, Red Ravens And Wildcats
This past Saturday was what has become somewhat typical this season – cold, wet and nasty. With the amount of rain we had gotten, we were sure if the High Point Soccer games were going to take place on Sunday. Thankfully, everything cleared up and it turned out to be a beautiful day, so Loretta headed up to the fields for back-to-back games for the Lady Wildcats, Red Ravens and Wildcats.
Here are a couple shots from those games …
Goshen Gladiators Battle Cornwall
Yesterday, we covered the Goshen Gladiators Varsity Football game against Cornwall. Unfortunately, it was not a day for Goshen – Cornwall scored their first touchdown within the first few minutes of the game with two more, back-to-back shortly after. Trying to regain some ground, the Gladiators fought back hard – which gave us some opportunities for some incredible shots!
Some of our most favorite shots include the quarterback looking almost directly into the lens of the camera as he got ready to pass the ball. A few of the others include a missed catch and an awesome tackle. Check them out below!
Minisink Youth Soccer Games
One of our largest leagues this year, Minisink Youth Soccer, has nearly 60 different teams playing back-to-back games every weekend. Each time we send out our photographers, they come back with hundreds and thousands of images that we must go through and post – which makes it tough for us when it comes time to post in the blog.
After briefly looking through some of the galleries, I picked out a couple of my favorites from games played at the Hansen Park soccer fields as well as the William Lane soccer field …
The Last Home Game For Minisink Football
Friday night at Minisink High School was one of those nights that most photographers hate – a mix of rain, mist and fog all night long!
I had to arrive at the field a little early as it was Senior Night for Minisink Valley Varsity Football. This night is special for the Seniors because it is the last time that they are going to play on their home turf before graduating. To commemorate the event, each Senior is joined by their parents on the field so we can take a picture of them together. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t make this task easy!
Even though I arrived early, the rain decided to move in just as I was getting ready to take my first shots. By the time I was done, it looked like I had dipped my camera in a bath tub! Thankfully, the Mark III can handle it!
Once I was done, practice got underway and the rain finally stopped and left behind a light mist. By this time, the field was already a mud puddle and the entire team was covered in it – yet they hadn’t even played a single down!
Once the game got underway, Minisink took an early lead with three back-to-back touchdowns and held onto the lead to finish the game against Kingston 52 to 32!
i9 Flag Football In Newburgh
This morning, after a late night photographing a wedding, Loretta packed up all of the gear and headed out to Newburgh to take some action shots of the i9 Sports Flag Football league. With a soaked field and foggy conditions, it was going to be tough to get some of the shots – but I think she managed well! Here are some of my favorites!
