Girls Softball

I plan on updating my blog with all the games that I was busy with during the spring. The summer is a slowdown period for photography and hopefully it will give me time to catch up on a lot of things.

I did not get a chance to shoot too much softball this year. Here are some of the galleries from Section V. I will have another blog later with a bunch of galleries from states. The first softball game of the year for me was Gates-Chili v. Eastridge. The Spartans and Lancers played at Gates-Chili on May 4th. It was a good game but I did not stay the entire game as I had to get home. Eastridge ended up beating Gates in the end. Click here for the rest of the pics...

The next game was also at GCand put them up against Greece Athena. Greece Athena showed their power against Gates-Chili on that Friday beating them 9-1. The Trojans were led by Nina Korn who went 3 for 4 with 2 home runs. This girl has a great swing with some serious power. Click here for the rest of the pics...

The third Gates game was between Gates and Olympia. The classic Spartans v. Spartans matchup was on a Wednesday at Gates-Chili. Olympia's pitching stifled the Gates-Chili girls and Olympia brought out the bats as they won 16-2. Click here for the rest of the pics...

I was able to get in an early round sectional game that did not involve Gates-Chili. Wayne travelled to Thornell Park to take on Pittsford Mendon on a Thursday night. Danielle Grage threw a no hitter against the Eagles. While the pitching was great for Mendon, they also put together some rallies to win 10-0. Click here for the rest of the pics...

Spring Girls Lacrosse

After a quick portrait session for NSR on Wednesday March 31st, I drove over to McAvoy Park where the Canandaigua Braves were playing the Webster Thomas Titans in girls lacrosse. It was good to see some of the impressive girl college recruits in the area. The Braves ended up beating the Titans 17-8 but both teams showed talent on offense and defense.

After the Gates-Thomas boys game on April 3rd, I drove to Eastridge to see the girls lacrosse team take on Aquinas. I also wanted to see the new stadium. It looks like the new turf field is going to be really nice. Parts of the stadium are still under construction, they were using a small scoreboard instead of the new one. The baseball and softball fields also are not complete yet...the facilities do look top notch so far. The game was close and Aquinas ended up scoring twice to break a tie at the end to win 11-9.

After the RH v. HFL baseball game on Saturday April 10th, I photographed the girls lacrosse game between RH and Fairport. The sun was shining and both teams were playing well as Fairport had a run early. RH answered with a litle run of their own but couldn't keep up with Fairport as the Red Raiders won 14-11.

BK, Have it Their Way

Saturday was a great day to use a small opening in my schedule to see the Bishop Kearney Kings football team. They were taking on their close neighbor the Eastridge Lancers. I didn't expect a good game, I was there to see the outstanding college prospects on the BK team. I had heard a lot about their QB, WR, TE, and RB/LB.

I was only able to stay for the first half because I had a wedding reception to go to. I did get the shots I wanted in the small amount of time I had. Here are some of those great recruits in action.

The Kings running back and linebacker Quentin Gause (32) was impressive on both sides of the ball. He is a solid running back with size that can break multiple tackles every run. On the defensive side he is all over the field creating havoc with his speed and strength. He had 19 tackles and forced a fumble in this game.

Another outstanding player on the Kings team is wide receiver Blair Roberts (5). He is tall with good speed and has a knack for grabbing the ball over any defender.

The quarterback that's job is to get Roberts the ball is senior Jake Meek (3). Not only is he great at throwing the ball but incredible at avoiding tacklers and running it himself.

On the other side of the field from Roberts is another incredible receiver Quinton Washington (1). After a short pass, Quinton tacks on another 20 yards.

Last but not least is Jerome Lewis (15), he is a D1 recruit who has already verbally commited to Virginia Tech. Lewis plays TE and is unbelievable in a small space and can create yardage that shouldn't be there. He also plays on the defensive side and gets large amount of tackles like Gause.
