Got to try out my new lens extender. Seems to have worked pretty good.

Great pics Allen!

Congrats to the Birds!

Just like I called it, a close one. Congrats to the Birds on the win. Tough loss for the "Stangs after being up 3-0.

It was a tough loss, it doesn't feel any better today. That's the way the game goes, you have to close the door and we left the door wide open. Highlands has a solid team and I like where our team is this early in the season. We had more talent last year, but this team is much better as a TEAM.

Here you go...

Here is one of the pitcher grabbing one hit right back at her.

Pictures are awesome. I appreciate you sending the one's of our seniors .

Thanks Awesome
