Part of what I have been doing recently is producing slide shows/multi-media presentations of the various teams I photographed during a season.  Below is the one I created for the Lakota East mens basketball teams for the 2009-20 season.  It includes images from the Freshmen, Sophomore, JV & Varsity teams.  The music is not great but still learning how to create my own.  I would love feedback.  Thanks for looking.

The Lakota East mens basketball team had their season ended by Colerain in the tournament.  The game was played at UC which made for some much better light than I am used to.  I posted a few action images below but I also posted a series on the head coach.  For anyone that thinks a coach does not go through a lot of emotions during a game I wanted to prove you wrong.  They are into the game just as much as the players and experience the same ups & downs as the athletes.  All images available through the Game Proofs link above.

Photographing the Mason vs Oak Hills womens tournament basketball game was my first event after my tumble.  I definitely was more immobile than I initially thought.  Moving around is more limited for tournaments anyways but I definitely found myself staying in one spot more than normal.  I was just glad I could make it.  My husband was probably happy was well since I would not be all grumpy in the house.  What a game it was.  Scrappy defense and timely baskets allowed Mason to come back from a deficit and win the game.  All images available through the Game Proofs link above, here are a few of my favorites:

Some of that scrappy D.

Like the cheering from the bench in the background.

The Lakota East womens basketball team continued their season by defeating Harrison.  I loved their scrappy play and determination to win the game.  They hung tough throughout the game.  You can see their team chemistry has really come together at the right time.  A number of times I saw a player look up after a steal or breaking through the press and know exactly where their teammate was for a pass.  All images from the game are available through the Game Proofs link above but here are a few of my favorites:

A steal and start of a fast break.

Nice block.

Oak Hills at Mason mens basketball was my last regular season game of the winter sports season.  Luckily the weather forecast from earlier in the week changed and the snow stayed away.  Mason honored their Senior athletes both before the game and at halftime.  They played tough and pulled out the win on their special night.  Here are a few of my favorites from the JV & Varsity games:

A clean block.

A trap.
