Southern California Bowl - Cerritos College vs Long Beach City College

Well two weeks ago I thought I was done with football, but mid week last week I got a text from my contact with the paper asking if I would cover the Southern California Bowl State Playoff game between Cerritos College and Long Beach City College.  This couldn't have happened at a better time as I really needed to get out and do some shooting, so of course I said yes.

The game was held at Cerritos College, which does have much better lighting than what I'm used to at the local high school.  Its not the greatest, but it is diffidently better. 

The only thought I had was hoping this game was better than the last game I covered and neither team disappointed me.  This was a very close game with some sweet action.  They gave me multiple opportunities to get some great shots.  I pretty much only focused on the Long Beach team, but again they didn't disappoint.

Below are my favorites from the game.

Enjoy.

Cerritos College Football vs Long Beach City

This was my first opportunity to shoot a college football game of two local colleges (Cerritos and Long Beach City).

It is always a pleasure to shoot a game under the sun, even if the sky is overcast, which is what we had for the first half of this game. With both of these being community colleges it really wasn't much different than shooting a high school game. Now don't get me wrong, by no means am I referring to the players themselves as they played hard and provided me with many opportunities for some great action, but I refer to the sidelines and how I covered the game. The caliber of playing ability with these players was much higher than what I see during a high school and it
was a pleasure to be there to capture them in action.

So with that all said, here are some of my favorite shots from the game.
