San Jac volleyball at NJCAA national tournament

I've been in Council Bluffs, Iowa this week for the NJCAA volleyball national tournament. It was San Jac's fifth-straight trip to the tournament, and we finished 10th. Here are a few pics from the action. I have to say I'm either actually getting the hang of shooting volleyball, or it's just luck. Either way, congrats to the girls on another great season!

San Jac baseball all-conference selections

Sometimes I surprise even myself with my picture-taking abilities. I don't claim to be an expert at this whatsoever... in fact, I'm really not all that good. I can do ok with my point-n-shoot camera, but when you put this thing in my hand with a big 'ol lens and flashy flash, I'm not always sure what you're going to get. But today, I surprised myself, and I'm kinda proud, so I have to brag.

The San Jacinto College baseball team had nine players named to the all-conference team (yes, we dominated the team), and to go along with the press release I wrote, I thought it would be fun to have a picture of them. Instead of the standard two rows of guys looking serious in their practice uni's, I thought it would be fun to have them "pose." Well, I didn't have to do much arranging with the nine guys (they somehow knew exactly what to do), and this is what I ended up with. Don't they look cute???

Like I said, I'm no expert at this (I know some of the lighting, etc., is a little off), but it's nice to be pleasantly surprised every now and then.
