FOOTBALL: LEHI


Lehi had their first game last night against their rival Lone Peak.  These young boys played their hearts out.  It was a fun and intense game from the beginning.  Some parents, I noticed, couldn't even watch.  I put my camera aside for a second and starting commenting on a certain call, but then realized that I should just stop.  Then I started snapping away again.  I love this game so much that I have a hard time not 'getting in to it'.  ;) 
 
I feel almost at home with this team.  I've been shooting their games for last couple of seasons.  Getting to see some of the same boys play and develop their skill is so fun to be a part of and to capture that on camera is the greatest feeling for me.  I also love seeing the new players and getting to 'know' them as well.  It's hard because by the middle or even end of a season, I get to know their last names and numbers like the back of my hand.  You tell me a first name, and I get lost.  Blaze?...Who?  Oh yes,  Nield #27.  But then the next season they all change numbers.  It's like a test for me.  ;)

Here are a few shots from the game.  It's hard to pick just a few to show here, but I will have all of them on my site to view very soon.  So keep checking.  And I'm sure I will be posting more here on the blog as well.









This boy holding the down marker is not sleeping...
I think he just found out that the other team just scored.  ;(






Halftime:  One of my favorite times to shoot during these boys' football games.  I love capturing the look on their face while listening to their coaches.  They really want to play and play well.  They hang on every coaches' words.








We even have cheerleaders this year!  Hollla!
