I have watched a lot of volleyball over the past several years–some of it college and some at lower levels. Today I’m heading up to Eugene, Oregon to catch the highest level of college volleyball. #1 Stanford is taking on #2 University of Oregon so this should be a great match. It has been 20 years since I’ve watched volleyball of this caliber live.
Today’s photo is from a Southern Oregon University volleyball game a little over a week ago.
With Oakland‘s come-from-behind victory today their odds of making the playoffs increase to 92%. Donaldson, with his 9th inning game-tying homer, and Moss, with his 10th inning game-winning homer will get all of the glory, but let’s not forget the A’s bullpen which gave up just 2 hits and no runs over nearly 6 innings. Today I tip my cap to Ryan Cook, pictured above, one of many no-name rookies or cast offs who make up this amazing team.
For the next few months we are hosting a Rotary exchange student from Japan. This past weekend we watched his soccer game. One of the fun things about sports photography is I don’t know what I am going to end up with. When the action happens I just fire off a bunch of shots and hope for some good photos in the end. I thought this pic was particularly fun.
