High School Basketball Game

I won't get scooped up by 'Sports Illustrated' - but it was a lot of fun shooting the 'Snowball Basketball Tournament' at Abbotsford Collegiate in January.
The scene here is a foul shot in a game between Fairfax 'Lions', from Los Angeles and Pitt Meadows 'Air Force', a local BC team.
The US team won the tournament - but last year it was the other way around.
Amazing level of play - a lot more advanced than when this old guy shot hoops for the local team ! lol

For more of these fine (?) action shots visit:

This is an excellent exercise in "almost symmetry"; from the two pairs of guys contesting for the ball to the referees on either side of the frame, which is neatly divided by the beam running down the centre of the ceiling.
