    Quarter Final Playoffs SC D1-AAAA

    Here are some of the better shots I got Friday. Gaffney and Byrnes, second Round of the Div 1-AAAA playoffs in SC. Both are nationaly Ranked by several rankings, Gaffney 20tf and Byrnes 21st by USA Today.

    Gaffney won 16-13 and sends Byrnes home ending tier quest for 5 straight State Titles, and extends the Gaffney home playoff streak to 31 games. Gaffney is still undefeated and travelsto Goose Creek this week to play the Stratford Knights in the semi finals.

    It looks like they are a tad over processed Scott. That field has got to go! Where is the green grass? I know, I keep asking that, it just doesn't make sense, even our worst fields are still green now and were way north of you.
    It appears one player is trying to block his own teams extra point! Thats actually from the wrong side though as the ball is blocked from your view by the holder. For these always be on the ball side of the holder or shoot the line, you get them blocking the extra point.
    Some good timing there on some of these.

    Ha! You hate that grass! Well, if it were not so tradition rich (the field is haunted) I would rather have some green grass, but this is SC, and we cant decide if we want warm weather or cold this time of year. Thats heck on the grass.

    Gimme some specifics on the over processed looking stuff. I can go back and redo these from the raw files up.

    Hey we have gone from 70 one day to 30 the next and back and forth, if that was the reason our fields would look that way too. Even today, it went from near 50 to below freezing in an hour then back up again, and now back to freezing. It was sunny one minute and raing the next, and 10 minutes later it was snowing. It kept going from snow to rain to sleet. But all the football fields are still green, even the ones who have been soaked and beaten up the past month.

    Anyway, back to the photos Well now they look different, must be the monitor as they looked (at least a couple) appear oversharpened.
