2019 High School Girls’ Soccer Playoffs
The second round of playoffs is not usually a time for major upsets but 2 happened this week in the Colorado High School Girl’s Soccer playoffs. First, #1 seed Broomfield lost to #16 seed Rock Canyon, 1-0. Rock Canyon came out the aggressor and never let up to put away the game. On Saturday, #21 seed Vail Mountain School shocked #5 seed Stargate School with 3 goals in the last 5 minutes of regulation to pull out the 4-3 victory in dramatic come-from-behind fashion. I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many goals in such little time. Can’t wait for the finals in the 22nd.

Arizona Wildflowers 2019
I flew down to Phoenix to check out the wildflower display this year. With all the rain they had this winter, the desert is very green. Surprisingly, only a couple of areas had excellent wildflower displays–Peridot Mesa near Globe and Lake Bartlett. Both were amazing.
Peridot Mesa Wildflowers
First, I traveled to Globe to check out the display of poppies on Peridot Mesa. The mesa is located on the San Carlos Indian Reservation near Globe, AZ. The hillsides were covered in orange poppies and purple lupine. It was quite extraordinary.
Lake Bartlett Poppies
I had never been to Lake Bartlett before so it was a treat to see someplace new. And it did not disappoint. Lake Bartlett had an amazing array of wildflowers including poppies, lupine, and even some owl’s clover. The hillsides above the lake were full of flowers and I even took the opportunity to wander amongst them. The lake itself is a pretty setting with lichen covered rocks serving as a backdrop. I just wish I had a fishing pole. There were lots of fish jumping.

I covered the 3A Colorado high school basketball finals at DU this past weekend. Manual beat Vanguard to take the boy’s title while St. Mary’s defeated Colorado Springs Christian to take home the girl’s title. There were some great games including Manual defeating Sterling in overtime in the boy’s semifinal.

Dakota Ridge Legacy Boy’s Basketball
I photographed a boy’s basketball game between Dakota Ridge and Legacy tonight. Dakota Ridge came out hot and then Legacy chipped away in the second half to pull within one but a late surge of threes propelled Dakota Ridge to the win in Broomfield.

Broomfield Legend Boy’s Basketball 2018
I photographed the boy’s basketball game this week between Broomfield and Legend. Broomfield got down by 14 early but stormed back to get within 2 in the second half. Legend took advantage of some late turnovers to secure the win in the final minutes. I always enjoy photographing Steve Croell for Broomfield who seems to hang in the air after some tough drives to the basket.

Bear Creek vs Green Mountain Basketball Pepsi Center
I had the chance to photograph the boy’s basketball game between Green Mountain and Bear Creek at the Pepsi Center earlier this week. The Nuggets sponsor an annual series of games that give high school teams a chance to play at the Pepsi Center. It was a lot of fun to cover. Bear Creek won this matchup and shut down Green Mountain from the start. It is always fun to shoot a game under the good lighting of the Pepsi Center in comparison to most high school gyms.
