I’ll be headed to Fort Worth, Texas, for a high school football playoff game between Aubrey High School and Godley High School in Northwest Fort Worth this evening. Thankfully, the weather, although cold, will cooperate so that I can capture images of one player whose family brought me on board for their action photography needs!
I have done perhaps a hundred Texas high school football games and counting. It never gets old seeing youthful energy and good sportsmanship on display. However, I do remember having my fill of it a long time ago, and heading for California to work, in large part because of local news outlet’s overkill coverage of North Texas high school football. Thankfully, the fields have become a lot more diverse in the last thirty years! We actually have soccer, field hockey and many more sports represented at the high school level – nothing on the scale of California’s high school sports diversity, but high school sports in Texas? It’s getting “interesting-er and interesting-er” all the time.
I guess you could say, I have done some sports photography over the decades. This shot – ON FILM and on DEADLINE from San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium (gone now).
