In a fog

I got a weather alert on my phone that seemed a little puzzling. Fog warning. Seriously? I got it midday in what was a chilly, overcast day. I thought my phone was messing with me again. That was until I went out to Powers Field to cover Cheyenne Post 6’s game at 7:30 p.m. I showed up a bit early to get a few features of the crowd, but soon after I arrived a dense fog appeared quickly and rolled across the field. The JV game before the varsity game was eventually delayed and called when the fog became so thick that outfielders couldn’t see fly balls in the outfield. The whole scene had a ghostly feel about it. Reminded me of that movie “Silent Hill,” except for the whole being dead and not knowing it part. At least, I don’t think I’m dead. That would be unfortunate.

Coaches talk on the field during a fog delay on Sunday, May 29, 2011, at Powers Field in Cheyenne. The fog blanketed the outfield making it hard to see pop ups, forcing officials to postpone a game between Cheyenne Post 6 and Ralston Valley until 9 a.m. on Monday.

Wyoming Soccer Tournament Day 3: The end

Saturday was the end of a couple things. It was the end of the Wyoming state soccer tournament, and it was supposed to be the end of the world. The world didn’t end, but luckily the soccer tournament did. I shot four games on Saturday including both of the Class 4A championship games for our sister paper in Laramie. Unfortunately for the folks in Laramie, both of their teams lost in the finals. The girl’s game was especially painful because it came down to penalty kicks after 90 minutes of regulation and an additional 20 minutes of overtime left the game tied at 1-1. I’m not a fan of shooting crying kids, but it’s part of the job I guess. Believe me, I’d much rather shoot a celebration photo than a dejection photo. I’m disappointed in my overall take from the tournament because I didn’t get any good features away from the games. I was so miserable with the cold and rain that I was in survival mode the entire weekend.
