Freshman and JV High School Football: Gulf Coast Sharks at Golden Gate Titans


I had not shot but a few frames of Freshman Football this season, but had several reports of how well teams had been playing from school yearbook photographers who had been assigned to games. So I have been looking forward to getting to a game.

I had a request a few weeks back to shoot Gulf Coast JV, and this Thursday was the best on my schedule, so I went over to Golden Gate High School where the Titans were hosting both JV and Freshman squads from the Sharks. With one troubling exception, both games were enjoyable for fans. The dark moment was when a player from Gulf Coast had to be taken to the hospital by ambulance with a possible neck injury. Our prayers are for his complete recovery. I can accept sprains, strains, and even broken bones as a part of football, but neck and head injuries while rare, are most upsetting, and the quiet fear of many parents.

Please look through and enjoy photos of both games. These players don't get the attention the Senior squads do, but also play their hearts out. I don't know how many chances I will have to shoot the JV's or Freshman this season, but I will try when I am able.

Would you kindly email a link to our site to friends, family, teammates, and schoolmates who might not know about Naplespix.com? And remember, you can buy digital downloads and many gifts for Birthdays, Christmas, and other occasions with these pictures of your favorite players, cropped to your liking printed on them! Regular, large and extra large prints are also available of many pix... Even pictures printed on Canvas and mounted in frames.

Thanks,

Mike
