Two games this past weekend, one in 33 degree weather, the other in a deluge. The Rancho Cotate Cougars and Cardinal Newman(Cardinals) move on to the Nor Cal finals in their respective divisions this weekend.

Near the end of the third quarter, it became a little difficult to focus on the action. The white uniforms of Windsor added to the AF issue with a 400, so I switched primarily to manual focusing. I’ve made pictures in downpours and snowstorms during football games, but this probably takes the cake as the foggiest. Oh yeah, Rancho Cotate won the game, 38-33. #kentporter pressdemo #nppa #photojournalism #sportsphotography #fog
