Huntington North semistates

I spent Saturday afternoon photographing the Huntington North Class 3A and 4A semistates for the Tribune. We had a couple local teams hoping to punch tickets to the state finals, but both teams – Mishawaka Marian and Elkhart Memorial – lost. It appears I might be bad luck. The gym was dark and had a green glow about it that I can only assume was cranked up for St. Patrick’s Day. The amazing food in hospitality room left me speechless and made up for the cave-like light illuminating the gymnasium.

Carmel survived after a half-court heave at the buzzer by Elkhart Memorial fell a few feet short of the rim. (James Brosher/South Bend Tribune)

Pole positioning

In South Bend, the people here take St. Patrick’s Day very seriously. So seriously that I need to remind myself to check later to see if I get holiday pay for working on Saturday. On Thursday some of the preparations started for what should be a fun weekend in South Bend although I’ll be down in Huntington, Ind. shooting a couple semi-state basketball games. Alas, I will miss out on festivities such as the little leprechaun contest.
