Getting good pictures of basketball games is a challenge! The action, the low light, the distance ... I'm always busy behind a video camera for live highlights anyway. I can't even express the joy I felt when I found out that a professional photographer had been contracted to cover a majority of the games (Nicci Dean Photography). Because of this, we have priceless pictures from Colton's senior season.
The season opener was an intro to the team, with the boys divided up and playing against each other. Sophomore girls faced JV girls in the 1st quarter, Sophomore boys challenged the JV boys in the second. Girls again, Varsity (pulling a couple up to get 10 players) for the 3rd, then (who I was excited to see) the Boys Varsity. Black and Blue. This game was played on Friday, November 17, 2023.

This was also the
Senior Night celebration, and the game that guaranteed the Region win.
While I captured almost all the games on video, and the highlights are fun to watch, there's something special about photos. I'm so grateful for these pictures! There were occasionally other professional photographs at the games, and there were some pictures available for a price (
MaxPrepsPictures). I bought a couple, but didn't feel like I needed to grab as many as I had all these ones already.
Nicci Dean Photography also covered the team photos/pictures for the program ...
