CIF Southern CA Regional Championship basketball, 3/20/10

Mater Dei players, top, celebrate and Brea Olinda players, bottom, can’t hold back tears after Brea Olinda loss to Mater Dei, 51-46, during the 2010 CIF Southern California Regional Division III Girls Championship game at The Galen Center in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 20, 2010.

I had a pretty intense day covering high school regional championship games recently. I shot three back-to-back games for three different publications, all on deadline. The first game (pictured) was for the OC Register. The second and third games were for the Long Beach Press-Telegram. I also had to send photos from the third game to the Fresno Bee. Triple dipping can mean more money in my pocket, but it’s definitely a lot of work.

Championship high school games are usually fun to shoot, with a lot of emotion when the games are close. The game may not be played at the highest of levels, but some of the guys and gals sure get scrappy and emotional.
