    HS Boys BBall

    A few shots from the small school section playoffs.. semi-finals.. two of the schools have attendance around 50 students total.

    Fond du Lac is a Native American high school up here in Minnesota, not to be confused with the town in Wisconsin. They had a 12 point lead with 3 minutes left and blew it.. "Rez ball" as it's called, and I've played, they didn't know how to run the clock down at the end of the game. A huge crowd showed up to watch them play, then another huge crowd showed up to watch a sophomore who hit 2600 career points earlier this year play in the second semifinal. Only shot the 1st half of the second game, since I was covering the first for our weekly paper, and the daily's photo editor had the other.

    Nice job, I like em'.
    Just think, 6-8 months from now and they'll be all "Tattoo'd" just like the Gang Bangers in the NBA...
    and I just can't get into those "Long-Baggie" shorts.
    But the shots are nice, keep up the good work.

    Always enjoy seeing your pictures. You do a great job. I am from Northern MN so have seen these guys play ball. They are good ball players.

    That second shot is a real winner, love the action it shows.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
