Lakewood Varsity Football vs Jordan

 While our season is winding down with only one more league game left, Lakewood went against Jordan at home for homecoming.  This was an important game as well as next week's game will be.  If Lakewood wants to make it to the playoffs they needed to start with this win and then follow it up with a win against Millikan next week.

This game didn't start off well with both teams going into the second quarter at 0 - 0.  It wasn't until later in the 2nd quarter did Lakewood put the first points on the board with a touch down, giving them six as they went into half time.

In the second half Lakewood came out strong putting another 22 points on the board keeping Jordan scoreless.  Another outstanding job by the defense, who in my opinion has been keeping this team together.

This first shot is the cover to this games football program, which I had the honor to put together.  It's followed by some of my favorites from the game.

Lakewood Freshmen Football vs Jordan

This will more than likely be my last freshmen game for the season.  Although their next game is at home, which is usually the game I cover, I want to get some shots of the JV team in their away jerseys (white).

This was a great game for me to close the season on the freshmen squad.  They simply dominated the game against Jordan giving me plenty of opportunities for some great shots.

Here are some of my favorites from the game.

Sunset at the Pier - Seal Beach

With football in season now I haven't had much time to get out for some sunsets, well yesterday while driving home from work I thought the clouds looked promising, so I decided to go home and get my gear and head out to Seal Beach.  I would have preferred to go to Huntington Beach, but that would have put another 20-possible 30 min's to my drive, so I decided to simply go to Seal Beach, which I'm glad I did.  Not only was it a nice cool evening, with some good looking clouds, but a photographer friend of mine was there as well doing the exact same thing I was doing, shooting sunsets at the pier.

 

So after doing some shooting I had a pleasant chat with my friend, David, who does some great work in itself.

 

So enjoy the shots.

 

Lakewood Varsity Football vs Cabrillo

After a major loss against Poly last week Lakewood found themselves on the road against Cabrillo ,a team which has never won a game against Lakewood.

This game had the makings of being a game controlled on both sides of the field by Lakewood, but unfortunately Cabrillo had something else in mind.  They came will all chambers loaded and played a hard game from the get go.  Although Lakewood was able put some six on the board first, Cabrillo followed quickly with seven of their own.

 

After a few failed passes and opportunities to score, Cabrillo increased their lead to 14 going into the half.

 

During the second half Lakewood came out strong putting another six on the board and after a successful 2 point attempt tied the game.  Going into the forth quarter the game was set at 14-14.

 

Again Lakewood gave up multiple opportunities to score and dropped a few passes.  This game came down to the last seconds when Cabrillo faked a P.A.T and ran the ball in for a touchdown.  With 1.1 seconds left on the board Lakewood had one final attempt to score.  As Lakewood played all night, it was a failed pass attempt.

Now although Lakewood lost this game, it was a great game to shoot with some good action on both sides of the field.

 

Here are my favorites from the game - Enjoy.

 

Lakewood Freshmen Football vs Cabrillo

 Well I planned on covering the JV game, but once I got to Lakewood I found Cabrillo had no JV team, so I then drove to Cabrillo High School where the freshmen were playing to cover their game.

Here are some of my favorites from the game.
