AVHS JV Basketball

Watching the Action, a photo by Wayne-K on Flickr.

I had a great time shooting the Amador Valley High School freshman basketball season last year. This year, I will be following the Junior Varsity team's season.

The American High School team hosted the Dons yesterday evening in Fremont, California. It was a dark gym. I shot at ISO 1600, f/1.8, and 1/320 shutter speed...pretty much at the limits of my Nikon D80 camera. I might need to leave some homemade cookies and milk out for Santa Claus this year.

Overall, the Dons played a nice game, although they had a number of second half turnovers. It was sort of like the USC Trojan football game against Oregon last weekend....oops, I wasn't supposed to bring that up! But, like the Trojans, the Dons secured a win.

The Dons travel to San Francisco on Saturday to play Sacred Heart High School. My basketball photos should have a new look to them...stay tuned!
