A game for the ages . . .the A C Reynolds Rockets hosted the Sun Valley Spartans in the NC State 3-A Quarterfinals. Both teams had been eating up the competition with either skill/finesse (ACR) or sheer physical play (SV). Lets look at the game film:






Junior Defender Kaley Cross moves the ball down the field







Senior Defender/Forward Charges the net during a corner kick







Junior Karissa Grooms (leading the pack) breaks down after scoring







Gratuitous shot of my daughter . . .a freshman leading team in assists







Senior Captain Megan McCallister has a shot blocked by the goalie

End result, Reynolds overcame a lot of adversity during the game and came out with a well deserved 4-2 win. They advance to the final 4 and host the team that eliminated them from the playoffs last year, Cuthbertson.

Hey Mike... something appears awry in the post processing. Everything has that "oversharpened to save an out of focus shot" look to it. Did you have turf currents that you had to deal with? That can sometimes be the culprit.

Hot day, clouds rolling in and out, a stadium and tall trees that filter the sun (see last shot) but they were all in focus, the corner kick being a heavy crop as I shot at about 70mm to get the kicker too (the entire series to see if I can catch a header). They are (I call it) semi HDR as the girls and the parents of the team like that look (me, I like some drama-on TV- but whatever they want). I like the first one with just a bit of correction and of course get asked to make it more "dramatic". . .I blame Instagram and snap seed. . .

Hey Mike,

Hot field with currents and late afternoon side light can be a tough one for sure. Like the first & last the best in regards to action. Kind of amazing what others like vs what sports photographers deem as good. I see this all the time

IMO, the corner kick doesn't look like the rest. Granted as you indicated it's a large crop on a 120mm shot but, like Paul, I do not see the GK being as sharp (to me #20 is more in focus) as I would expect & it does have the look of being over processed. JMTC

Strange, I look at the corner in Lightroom and it looks good (color wise) I look at it on safari (to look here) and the color is horrible. Need to see what is going on here. But it is not as sharp for sure.
