Emily Leone, Codi Battaglia, and Meg Stucko (Section V Alumni)

     I have been working with Brockport College for a few years now and get to see some familiar faces from photographing high school games for MaxPreps.  I decided that I wanted to add some photos of those Section V Alumni that I recognize at the college level both from Brockport and their opponents to this blog.  I will be updating with recent photos of alumni and also add some older ones too.  I will start with a game I shot earlier this week.  The Brockport Women's Basketball team has three Section V Alumni on the team this year.

Winter 2010-2011

Once again, I am way behind on blogs and need to do a few condensed blogs to catch up to the new season approaching. Here are some of my favorites from the winter college and high school season. You can see the rest of the SUNY Brockport photos HERE. The rest of the high school sports photos can be found HERE.

Ronald McDonald All-Star Girls and Boys Basketball

The next weekend I shot some more high school all-star basketball games. Clark gym at RIT hosted the boys and girls Ronald McDonald senior games. The athletes were very impressive and it was fun for everyone involved. I definitely will try to make these games every year. The only problem with the game was the gym lights were so dim that it took a lot of work to get some decent shots. Click here for the rest of the basketball pics...

Monroe County Senior Select Saturday

I shot three all-star games on Saturday, March 20th. I started at Blue Cross Arena for the Section V Senior Select hockey game. I stayed for two periods and sat in a few different spots getting some different angles. Click here to see the rest of the photos...

I then drove to Gates-Chili High School for the Monroe County Senior Select girls and boys basketball games. Both games were fun to watch and at halftime that had an event for each game. The girls had a 3-point shooting contest and the winner was Jenna Hoecker (Greece Olympia). Each team had an MVP. The East MVP was Lindsay McKinnon (Fairport) and the west MVP was Brittany Quataert (Greece Athena). Click here to see the rest of the girls photos...

The boys had a dunk contest at halftime and the winner was Colin Peterson (Hilton). The East MVP was Rmani Crawford (Webster Thomas) and the west MVP was Freddie Walker (Gates-Chili). Click here for the rest of the boys photos...

The End of Winter Basketball

Catching up on the winter season and I will start with basketball. Here are the last basketball games of the season that I covered in February. The first boys game of February was not a very well played game by either team. It was February 3rd, and the Gates boys took on the Spencerport Rangers. The Rangers were up for most of the game. Gates fought back late to squeak this one out 48-44. Click here for the rest of the pics...

Two days later, February 5th, the Spartans took on Greece Athena at home. Both teams started this game off slowly in the first quarter. Athena started hitting their shots and finding the open man. Greece pulled away in the second half as their big man underneath really played well. The Trojans won 59-51. Click here for the rest of the pics...

On February 8th, Greece Olympia boys came to the Gates-Chili field house. This was a very even paced game that Olympia took over in the last few minutes. Great action by both teams. I was impressed by a couple very athletic kids on Olympia that I had not heard about. Olympia beat Gates 61-55. Click here for the rest of the pics...

It was the girls turn on February 9th as the Pittsford Sutherland Knights took on the Gates-Chili Spartans. The Gates-Chili girls showed that they could play with anyone Tuesday night as they defeated a great Sutherland team. The Spartans kept O'Keefe from scoring big in the second half and made their foul shots to win 63-58. Click here for the rest of the photos...

I traveled to Rush-Henrietta on February 12th for a great boys game between Fairport and RH. I scheduled this game a couple weeks ago because I had an opening and knew it was going to be a great game. I wasn't disappointed as both teams carried leads at one time and battled back and forth late. Taggart for Fairport showed his stuff with 31 points and McClain was huge inside. The end came when RH could not finish in the last few minutes and the Red Raiders pulled away. Click here for the rest of the pics...

On February 15th, 2010 I drove to Oakfield-Alabama for girls senior night. I was asked to shoot the girls senior night at OA just like the boys last week. The game took place in the elementary school and is a little smaller than the high school gym. The Oakfield girls were able to get the ball inside and score consistently as they beat Alexander 46-40. Click here for the rest of the photos...

The last basketball game of February was the girls senior night at Gates-Chili as they took on the Brockport Blue Devils. Brockport stayed tough with Gates early as both teams struggled to keep the lead. The Blue Devils hit a flurry of three's to pull ahead and the inside girls worked hard to keep that lead. Gates girls lost on senior night 48-37. Click here for the rest of the photos...

January Basketball and Hockey

I want to catch up now that winter session is beginning to slow down. Saturday, Jan. 16th the Gates-Chili hockey team took on the Liverpool Warriors from Section 6. The game was very physical with a surplus of penalties and Liverpool had a very difficult time controlling the puck on the offensive end. The Spartans offense was too quick to the puck and put a lot of pressure on the Warriors goalie (who was outstanding). Click here for the rest of the pics from the game...

On Wednesday, January 20th, I was at Gates-Chili's gym to shoot both JV and Varsity boys basketball games. The Spartans were taking on the Brockport Blue Devils. This game was fairly easy for Gates once Imes, Brockport's big man, got in foul trouble early. Not sure how much better of a game it would have been if he was able to play more. The Spartans win big 75-34. Click here for the rest of the pics from the JV and Varsity game...

Two days later, Gates played Friday night against the Hilton Cadets. This was a great game as both teams played hard and it seemed to be a tale of two halves. Hilton started hot beating Gates to the basket and scoring often. Gates didn't seem to have the scoring touch until the second half where they fought back to take the lead. They held on to the lead and played like a different team in the second half to win 43-36. Click here for the rest of the pics from the game...

Thursday the 28th of January, there was another great hockey game involving the Gates and Greece teams. This time it was the Lightning facing the Spartans at Lakeshore Ice Rink. Gates-Chili led for most of the game but Greece tied it up in the third and went ahead with a little over 3 mins left in the game. The Lightning held on to win 4-3. Click here for the rest of the pics from the game...

Girls basketball played on Friday the 29th against Greece Arcadia. Gates girls fought hard through this game and almost pulled off the upset as they lost 53-52. This was the most physical girls basketball game I have ever witnessed. The inside girls battled for every loose ball and rebound. The young Gates' guards were great again for the Spartans. I also photographed the JV game before the varsity. Click here for the rest of the pics from the JV and Varsity game...

2010 Starts with More Basketball

I have been shooting a lot of girls and boys basketball and the first two weeks of the new year wasn't any different. January 5th, the girls of Gates-Chili dominated Spencerport with a 63-37 win. Click here for the photos...

The 12th of January, I traveled to Wheatland-Chili where they took on the boys of Oakfield-Alabama. It was an exciting game but the Wildcats pulled out the victory at the end 47-44. Click here for the photos...

The next day, January 13th, I was back at Gates-Chili's gym were the boys took on Churchville-Chili. The Saints were without their best player and the Spartans took advantage with an easy win 60-27. Click here for the photos...

On Friday, January 15th, the lady Spartans took on the Greece Olympia Spartans. I took photos of both the JV and Varsity teams this night. The young varsity guards for Gates were great as they took control quickly and beat the Greece team 79-57. Click here for the photos...
