cooper vs. levelland @ LCU

After working all week at Take One Video, I can think of no better way to spend a Friday night then watching some "girly basketball". It's my favorite kind, after all.

Cooper beat Levelland last night to take a "bye" next week. Many folks were saying how that might not be a good thing, to take a break like that. That the girls need to "keep the ball rolling". But I think they are taking a practice a game next Tuesday before the enter the playoffs the Friday following. Are best hopes are with them, as it gives me a chance to photograph. And you know I love that!

Here's the best from last night's game. And as always, the complete gallery is HERE.

last night on home court

Tuesday, the Senior Girls of Cooper Varsity played their last home game as a Lady Pirate. Sure, they are headed to the play-off, (more on that later), but Tuesday was it for regular season, playing at home. It was an intense feeling for many, me included, on the court, in the stands, on the bench.

Here, let the pictures talk. They do it better anyway.











I tried to do something different this night. Stephanie, Boo and me have literally hundreds of awesome action shots under that goal. I think we've mastered the art of that. But I wanted to approach this from a different view point. Find new angles, get more faces, more emotion. I LOVE that part of anything in life, and it's there on the court. I really just wanted to shoot less armpits. LOL I don't think I achieved that goal, but hey.... it was great even trying.

















I don't know all the girls by name, but I LOVE photographing anyone who enjoys the game like this player. Just look at her face! Pure JOY! LOVE this!





Lots of thoughts going through this pretty face. You played AWESOME April!

Happy Birthday, Stephanie!

wanna play?
