Lakewood JV Football vs Millikan

First league game of the season has Lakewood going against Millikan.  Normally I'll cover either the JV or Freshmen team, whichever is at home, but I wanted some shots of the JV in their white uniforms, which have always been my favorite.

Lakewood's preseason has been rough with zero wins in all three levels (Freshmen, JV, and Varsity), so it was nice to get that first win with the JV and I got some great shots.

Here are some of my favorites from the game.

Lakewood Varsity Football vs Vista Murrieta

This marks the end of preseason, which I'm glad to be out of.  Lakewood had a very rough time during their preseason, which carried over to me.  When the team your covering is having problems moving the ball, both in the air and on the ground, well it makes it hard to capture great action shots.  

With those odds stacked against me, I still strive to capture great action of Lakewood and feel I do it each and every game.

Starting this week with league play I hope for some top quality action with Lakewood as they play against much more equal teams.

Here are some highlights from this past Friday nights game.

Lakewood Freshmen Football vs Vista Murrieta

Here are some highlights from the Lakewood Freshmen game against Vista Murrieta, which was held at Lakewood High on 9-17-15.

Lakewood Varsity Football vs Los Alamitos

This has been a tough preseason for Lakewood.  Week three found them matched up against Los Alamitos at Veteran's (Vet's) Stadium.  When it comes to So. Cal high school football, Vet's stadium is a great place for a photographer to cover a game and I do look forward to it when Lakewood plays there.

Although the lighting was great, the action was not, well not for Lakewood.  They had a very rough time getting anything started, both in the air and on the ground.  It makes it rough to cover a game when your team is not doing well, but as I always do I hunker down and do what I do best and that's capturing the action.

Here are my highlights from the game.
