Sold! I would never guess that underneath all that bravado is a sweet boy. His secret is safe!

What I love the most is that his eyes are so sharp. Which I know is hard to do between all those lines in his helmet. Great control, GREAT portrait.

Thank you all so much! This was their "Homecoming" so all three of our teams had convincing shut-out wins. Very exciting games and we always do great half-time activities with this year being a tribute to Michael Jackson.

Here's our Michael Jackson...

and here's a re-enactment scene...

This little boy was dancing in the stands and was just so cute....

I could feel this midget player's readiness to charge me head on. Thanks for sharing.

I know I could easily over share with these guys so I post only a few. I so enjoy my time photographing them and attempt to actually pay attention to the games.

The quarterback calls the play, the team has its gameface on, a great selection of pictures and an interesting game that I enjoy watching, but I confess with the ignorance of cricket lover
