Super Sectionals vs. Lockport (03.13.07)
I'd like to say a few things:
1) On a technical note, the light at NIU was poor (too dark), and I was forced to use a higher film speed equivalent (ISO) for this game. The result is slightly grainier images. I've tried to use some "noise reduction" software to smooth them out, but all the same, I would have reservations printing anything 24x16 or larger (on smaller prints it really won't be an issue). If you'd like to order large prints from this game, please contact me, and I can do some extra work on an image and even get a test print done to ensure quality.
2) I'd like to apologize for missing the two sectional games at East Aurora... from all acounts it sounds like there was some outstanding basketball played. I wish I was able to see it.
3) I'd also like to throw out a personal apology to Johnny Shurna for missing his (sensational) dunk in this game. My memory card ran out of space right after this frame. I couldn't believe it. Murphy's Law, I guess. Hopefully I'll have plenty of opportunities to make up for it next year...
4) Finally, I'd like ot thank the team for a great season. I love basketball, and this was the most fun I've ever had following a high school team (since my own high school experience, of course). There really was something special about this team, and I consider it a privilege to have been along for the ride.
Thank you.
