Thursday Night Lights



Football season is in full swing for Benton Junior High. I am not much of a football fan, but it is fun to visit with friends. It feels like a high school reunion every week. Sarah loves to go hang out with her friends and visit the concession stand. Of course, I am always up for a good photo opportunity. Good sharp photos are a challenge here. I am sitting so far away and it's dark. I have a decent zoom but it does not have image stabilization. Flash is pointless so far away. Another mom there was shooting with a $2,000 L series lens. Can you imagine? I would love to see how her pictures turned out. I can't tell you who won or who we played. I only watched the band and cheerleaders. One dad did have to run out on the field after his child could not get up. I can report one knee torn/broken and one arm broken. This is from Jamie the day after. I have been told the cheerleaders actually have a high incidence of injuries from all the tumbling and pyramids. I think Jamie is pretty safe with that french horn. The band marched a very simple formation on and off the field. Their music totally makes the game. They have a cool play list of fun songs.
