{nlhs friday night lights part 1}

we tried something new this weekend...a change of pace from the weddings we usually cover on the weekends.  naomi and i were not sure what to expect...we had some pretty big shoes to fill {mr p is an amazing sports photographer} when we got to the field...i started to get a little nervous....a couple of things were running through my head.....
are teenagers supposed to be that big?  these guys are going to move a lot faster then the pee-wee's i am used to shooting.... wow these guys are huge...they are going to crush my camera....i am going to have to protect naomi and her unborn child....

then the coach told me "do not let the refs touch you or we get a penalty"

on the surface i am cool "no they won't touch us we are pretty fast" ohmigoodness this is not good there is a reason i do not play organized sports....i am going to get crushed, get  the team a penalty....my husband coaching from the press box, the kids, my mom & joe, and pretty much the whole school district are going to watch....

but we did not get crushed :-)  we had so much fun...being on the sidelines was very exciting and it was hard not to get caught up in team spirit.  i made a quick slideshow of all the pictures we took.

we are looking forward to this coming weekend!!! ~niki
