The Jefferson County teams kicked off the Football season tonight in the midst of some pesky rain/mist showers. Making it a bit interesting to cover the games. Fortunately I was at Hillsboro which is one of the finer facilities in the county, with an Astroturf surface which kept me from walking in mud all night. Hillsboro and Seckman are both coming off difficult seasons last year, with both teams looking to put some W’s in the win Column. Tonight was Seckman’s turn to put up the W, defeating the Hawks 43-6.

Today I was once again on the softball diamond. This time covering varsity level and the Crystal City Hornets were visiting the Herky BlackCats. What a good game, 1-0 lead by Crystal going into the bottom of the 7th and Herky was able to push two runs across the plate to pick up the early season win.

Today marked a big day for a new High School that we will cover. Jefferson High starts this year with a new HS and the first ever Freshman class. Meaning that all of their sports will have firsts. Today I covered the first official event for the new Jefferson High school. Junior Varsity Softball. Windsor was their opponent and was victorious 9-5 over the Lady Blue Jays.

It really doesn’t matter what you like best during the fall season, there is almost always something happening. I’m glad to see the dog days of summer(although it really wasn’t that hot) to be over and my favorite time of year to begin. Football, soccer, softball, Cross country, volleyball……..the list goes on and on. There is always something to see and something to cover. I just wish we had a paper with enough pages to cover it all! I started out shooting some action by covering the Jefferson College Alumni game this weekend, then its right into Softball and football for me this week. All the team and individual photos for the paper are out of the way and its time to shoot some action! See you on the field or in the gym.

After a much needed week of rest. I attended the ADRL drags held at Gateway International Raceway. What a fun time this weekend was. Here are a few images captured while there.

I attended day two of the Tanner Boynton tournament, covering a couple of games before the rain came and set the schedule back. Action going on six different fields at the same time and a nice tribute held by the team and AAA for Tanner. I hope this is a yearly event.
