Here are a few shots from sports assignments over the past couple of days. Baseball and soccer, two of Spring’s favorite sports…throw in some track and field and you get a trifecta.

The Road Less Travelled (Girls)

Unfortunately the Bainbridge girls team did not fair as well as the boys. They were stomped by Southwest Dekalb during the semi-final round of the state tournament at the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth this afternoon. I shot this game as well as the boys game against Tucker for the Albany Herald, a sister paper of the Gwinnett Daily Post.

This evening I shot the AAAA GHSA Bainbridge - Tucker game for the Albany Herald, a sister paper of the Gwinnett Daily Post. This semi-final round was played at the Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth and was an entertaining game. I really like the fact that this game and the girls’ game went from a fairly standard assignment to something really fun to photograph due to the fact that I got to shoot from the catwalk!

Tonight was one of the most exciting games in high school basketball that I have seen in a while. A close score the entire game, Norcross goes up by two points with 2.4 seconds left in the game to take the win over Walton during state tournament play. All I can really say is wow.

Tonight I covered some more basketball. This time Parkview played Milton during the State playoffs. A pretty intense game but Parkview came out on top 59-47.

…I like the way they dribble up and down the court.

Another assignment for the Gwinnett Daily Post shot tonight. This time the first round for the boys Region AAAAA State Tournament. Peachtree Ridge and Brookwood…it was a close game through the first half but Peachtree Ridge wound up taking home the win.

Basketball is my favorite sport…
