Description


---
Though the spectator stands were not filled (to say the least), THIS was an exciting game in the Pennsylvania State High School playoffs. It was a quarter-final game, and the team represented by the player on the ground eventually won--but lost in their semi-final bid the next week.
-----
It's fun to capture a play like this, with a game Official in the background, paying close attention to the action.
------
I hope everyone is safe, out of storms, and relaxing after Christmas.

I do a lot of actions captures with Bull Riding which is very fast. You do excellent action captures as well Michelle. It is all about knowing where the sport and action is going to happen. We make our luck it does not just happen. Excellent work. #10492618
