Friday night basketball, a battle between Lakota West and Lakota East, add in a few hundred fans and it was a great night. While the weather was cold outside the gym was warm and full of energy. I photographed all 3 games and each game delivered on the intensity that comes with this rivalry. Typically I only show a few images in my posts but today I had trouble limiting my favorites so you get 18 images. Like normal, all the game images are available for viewing through the Game Proofs link above. Here are my favorites:
Scrambling for the loose ball.
Another mad scramble for a loose ball.
The entrance of the Varsity team for warm-ups.
This East player was making plays at both ends of the court.
Here he blocks a shot without even leaving the floor.
Finding a way to get the shot up between 3 defenders.
Slam number 1 of the contest.
A tough rebound.
Slam number 2, this one by the home team.
Which got the already noisy crowd even more fired up.
At the end of the game it came down to free throws to preserve the lead. The bench sent positive vibes out to the shooter.
A wide look at a free throw attempt with just over a minute left in the game.
