Nice work enjoyed them immensely.....

Thank you for sharing.

[Rhonda Elizabeth]

Thank you.  I have to say, this was one of the best games I've seen all year and I travel all over the state shooting.

I'd like to add a couple of notes:

1.  I just realized today that if you click on individual photos, you can see it in a much larger size which is far better for downloading and using elsewhere on the web. When you right click to save the photo, make sure it is in that larger size.  I don't know if that is something new, or just something I've never noticed.  I like large photos, so I'm thrilled.  No one likes little photos IMHO.

2.  During this game a key player from Harding Academy asked me who I was shooting for and when I told him, he thanked me for coming to this game and taking photos.  That is a rarity and #16 from Harding Academy deserves kudos for making me feel like what I do matters.  Parents often thank me and that is appreciated greatly, but it is rare for a student to do so and I think this young man's mom and dad should be seriously proud.

All the kids from Harding seemed to be great kids

I'll second that ....they were very respectful and seemed like a great group of young men!!!

We were in Harding's conference a few years ago and they were always a class act.  Great sportsmanship, my son's favorite teams to play was always Harding and Charleston.  Both great programs with great sportsmanship.

 No doubt,  players and fans were all class acts.

And so were your Dragons dragondad.

I called out the HA player because it impacted me personally.  BUT, I watch games very closely because I just never know when there is going to be a moment that I need to shoot.  I saw the interaction of your team and it was most impressive ... especially #66.  He didn't interact with me, but I saw how he interacted with others on the field and it was quite heartening.

I'm telling you guys ... this was the best game I've seen all year ... both in the contest on the field and how the players from both sides acted and reacted.  During highly charged games - and this one was charged - people sometimes forget themselves and do things they wouldn't normally do.  I didn't see that Friday and it was nice.

Having dinner with the team now,  I'll pass along your kind words.  Thank you

I thought the same thing. In a game that charged its hard to maintain focus. Both teams responded well. Thank you for the kind words and great photos....

Hearing these things said almost makes me not as sad about the outcome.  Wish every football game played was like the one we saw last Friday night.  Thanks Rhonda for the kind words and the photos.  To add to your point about #16 for HA, he's probably the best high school kid I've ever been around.  Thanks again.  Hope you get a chance to shoot some photos of the wildcats again soon.

Excellent photos. Great stop action.
