Lakewood Varsity Football vs Los Alamitos

Week -2

"Friday Nigh Lights"

This had to be the hardest football game I ever covered.  I cover Lakewood High for the local paper and have done so for numerous years.  I've seen a slow steady decline in the quality of their program and this past Friday's game was the lowest I've seen.  They've lost by more points before, but have made a stronger effort on the field.  They could do nothing right or move the ball during this game while being dominated by Los Alamitos.

I say it was the hardest because plain and simple - its hard to capture the action of a team when they simply can't move the ball.  Both the running and passing game was non-exsistant, but in the end I do take great pride in capturing the action and I hope I served them well with the shots I did cover. 

Here are my favorites from the game.

Week 3

Lakewood vs Los Alamitos

Going into this game I expected the worse, especially with how Lakewood played the last two games, but I have to say Lakewood on both sides of the ball impressed the hell out of me.  I feel the thing that hurt Lakewood more than anything was the lack of depth to give the players a break, but with that said they played a very tough game and even went into the second half winning.

Here are some highlights from the game.
