As some of you may know, I am photographing the Lakota East Football team again this year. Last Friday night they had their second scrimmage of the season against Anderson. The scrimmage started at 6:30 which meant more natural light for me but it also meant there was still a lot of heat left from the day. It was around 90 degrees at kickoff. I can tell you the field was hotter and the breeze that seemed to exist outside the stadium was missing at the field level. You could tell the heat was definitely taking a toll on the players. The second half seemed to be cooler but it was also very dark by the end of the game. Which for me is not a great thing because images tend to get a bit grainy and I use a slower shutter speed than I like. Like last year, all images are available through the Game Images link above. Below are a few that I liked:
Getting set for the kick-off to start the game.
Breaking through the line.
Getting some instruction from a coach.
A forearm to the face.
Trying to rest a little from the heat while the offense was on the field.
The line creating a hole for the running back.
Attempting to block the kick.
Standing on the sidelines.
A fumble into the end zone which was recovered by a teammate.
