My week 1 assignment for the Newspaper took me to a game where one of the schools Seniors was just coming home from Basic Training to finish High school. He got home on game day and it was a surprise for his team mates since he wasn't suppose to be home until week 2. A few more "non action" photos than normal. C&C always welcome. Wasn't a great game for action as it was a blow out 56-14.

Matt -- great way to start week 1! #'s 7, 9 & 13 are favorites and of course getting an image of the "chimps" is priceless in 16! Thanks for sharing!

Matt: How did you approach the coin toss? Was this something you asked the ref if it was ok to do or did you just walk out there like you owned the place =)

I pretty much stick to the sidelines but that shot of the coin toss really intrigued me.

All the high school shooters are chimping the entire game...

#15 was my favorite. I actually started editing the opening in the facemask slightly just to lose some of the shadows and bring out the detail when possible. Don't think this would make much of a difference if it's going into a newspaper though. Great photos and really interesting shot of the coin toss - never seen anyone do that at a game.

Jim thanks for the look and taking time to comment.

I shoot the coin toss at every game. For the parents and for the officials. I've worked for the newspaper since 2006 and most of the Zebras know me and many of them officiate several sports. They enjoy seeing their photos online and in galleries of the game as well.

As a PJ I NEVER spot edit anything that I present, flaws and all what you see is what I got.

All great photos. Especially #14. But in context of the kid in #2, #4 is pretty awesome.

Thanks for the look Ian and Brent. Appreciate you taking the time to look and comment.

Ian #4 is pretty subtle, but when you notice it, it makes the photo. I wish I weren't shorter than most of the players, it could have been better.

Very nice set, Matt! I am jealous you got a week head-start on us over on this side of the river. I too, love the coin-toss shot.
I have been assigned the game of the week (and quite possibly the Rams sponsored h/s game of the week) by the paper. It just so happens to be my sons school. he's a freshman so he won't see any playing time, but still pretty cool I get to cover it for them.

Awesome set Matt -thanks for sharing.

Also - thanks for providing non-standard shots...helps get my idea-juices flowing, so thanks for putting those thoughts and visualizations out there.

For example...the coin toss....duh!!! What a simple and effective shot that I've ignored all along.

For the record...#s 7 and 14 are my favorites!

Thanks Billy and JC. Billy usually you guys start a week before us, but for some reason MSHAA changed them up this year.

Maybe it could be better but maybe it's because it is what it is that makes it great?
