Well after a couple of weeks with no assignments, tonight I had to shake the rust off and get back to work. Crystal City took on West County tonight in the District title game. They won the game and are headed to Sectionals to play Maplewood for a shot at going to the state final four.

Well today I spent the better part of 10 hours at the Edward Jones dome for Monster Jam with my son. He loves the trucks and we always go there for his Birthday. Its a blast for me as well, as the 548 photos I took today might suggest. I’ll post up a gallery of some of it sometime this week. I have some other work I need to take care of in the meantime. This photo is a view from our seats, its 4 photos stitched together. Click the photo to go to a larger web view. I have posted a few photos from the weekend here.

Well after another week where my assignments got scrapped due to weather, I’m going on my own to shoot a basketball game, just trying to get some time in the viewfinder. I find myself being off in my timing with too much time off. So tonight will find me at my old Alma Mater shooting some hoops. Wow what a rough night for the De Soto team tonight. They ran into a very good and big Cape Notre Dame team. They were losing at halftime by quite a bit when I had to leave. So only shot to halftime. They lost by 34 according to the report I got. Here is one from tonight. Click the photo to see more from tonights game.

Tonights basketball game was pretty big in terms of the conference. Alot has changed since the last game I covered. Hillsboro held their fate in their own hands. They went to Festus and lost a big conference game, then went into Crystal and lost again. Crystal plays a tough defense and has some really athletic kids in the starting line up. One of them may very well be the conference MVP. Crystal now has a chance to share the conference championship with De Soto with a win this week against St. Pius, which is where you will find me on wednesday night. Click on the photo to see more of the game.

Tonight was a big game for both teams in terms of conference championship. Hillsboro and De Soto both played hard tonight. Hillsboro came away with a win, and now it comes down to this friday to see who will win, or share the conference championship. I’ve posted a gallery of about 70 photos from the night click the first photo to open the gallery in the same window, click the second to open in a new window. Got comments on the game or my photos? Leave them here.

Well unfortunatly this weeks assignments were cancelled by the 8 inches of snow we recieved. Next week is De Soto vs. Hillsboro basketball on the 5th. And the 8th will see me at the Hillsboro at Crystal City game. Check back next week for photos and stories. For now I’ll just go play in the snow.
