I got to shoot the area's first high school basketball game of the year last night. Luckily I made it in time. Apparently one of the teams didn't have enough girls for a JV team so they started the varsity game early. I show up at 7:25 for my 7:30 assignment and there was only four minutes left.

Luckily I wasn't planning on just shooting the second half. Oh well... things happen.

I can't believe it's already basketball season. This year has flown by too quick.
