I photographed the 2016 Erie High School Softball Tournament of Champions again this year. It’s a always a lot of fun as teams from around the state and even some from Oklahoma come to town to play softball. The tournament is usually a good gauge for what teams might do well when it comes time for the state tournament in October. I saw a number of good teams this year so we’ll see who gets hot at the end of the year.
I covered the 2016 Colorado 5A Baseball Finals this weekend at All City Field. Cherokee Trail defeated Rocky Mountain 9-4 to take the title. AS usual, there was plenty of drama and emotion during the games. Enjoy the best of gallery.
A,
I covered the Colorado 5A baseball semifinals today. The games were;t close as Cherokee Trail and Rocky Mountain easily advanced to the finals tomorrow.
The playoffs are here for spring sports in Colorado. I covered the 5A girl’s soccer game between Broomfield and Chaparral last night in Broomfield. The Eagles won easily, 6-0. I got some amazing action shots, particularly of Chaparral’s goalie who was under constant pressure. Enjoy!
I always enjoy those athletic contests that come down to the last play. The Legacy vs Eaglecrest girls soccer game in Westminster was no exception yesterday. Eaglecrest pulled out a crazy one with an incredible goal kick with :12 left in overtime.
I photographed the 2016 Colorado High School Basketball 4A and 5A Finals at the Coors Events Center this past weekend. While all the drama was reserved for the semifinal round, the finals did provide some emotional moments. Pueblo West won its first state boys title while the Overland boys and Valor Christian girls teams won back-to-back titles. I always enjoy photographing high school basketball since so much passion is on display.
I photographed the JV and varsity boys’ basketball games between Pinnacle Charter and Faith Christian last night. Faith won both games but Pinnacle rallied to force overtime in the JV game and the varsity kept it close in the first half until Faith pulled away in the second.
I covered the Longmont Windsor 4A Football semifinal today. Windsor upset Longmont 12-6 to advance to the state finals next weekend. Three consecutive crazy plays decided the outcome in the fourth quarter. Longmont threw an interception, Windsor fumbled on the next play, and then Longmont fumbled in its end zone. What a game!
I had a crazy Saturday rotating between the Colorado HIgh School volleyball finals and the soccer finals. I photographed a handful of volleyball matches including the 4A final between Cheyenne Mountain and Lewis-Palmer. Congratulations to Cheyenne Mountain for winning the 4A state title.
I photographed the 2015 CHSAA softball championships this past weekend. The weather cooperated by raining on Friday when I couldn’t go, so I got to be one of the photographers after all. Our local high school, Mountain Range, took the 5A crown while Valor Christina my alma mater Wheat Ridge in 4A and Strasburg outlasted Eaton in 3A. As usual, the girls provided lots of dramatic moments. None more so, however, than Pomona’s 13-11 victory over Fossil Ridge in 8 innings, as Fossil left the bases loaded in the bottom half of the inning. Enjoy the photos.
