Belhaven University Football

Saturday, August 27th, the Belhaven University men's football team took the field to open the season.  The game with Texas College , Tyler, Texas, was played at Newell Field, home of Belhaven University football.  My arrival was mid-way through the first quarter, but BU was already leading and never looked back. 

The 6:00 p.m. kickoff made the hot day somewhat cooler, especially with a north breeze from the north. I was able to produce some quality digital images of our offense and defense before sunlight left beyond the western horizon.  Due to less that typical stadium lighting (this field is also used by Jackson County Schools), my work was almost completed.

I must get an image or two of the cheerleaders for their sponsor, Dana Marsalis.  Mission accomplished.  Not only a group picture of the squad, but some images of push-ups on a board following a BU score (One push-up per point on the scoreboard).  Since BU scored more than 40 points in the game, quite a workout for the poor soul doing the push-ups!

The next football game is in Pineville, LA, close to Alexandria, LA.  I won't make this trip, but hope the BU men fight hard, but clean and no serious injuries for either team.
