Photo of the College Committin’ Now: 27 April 2011

Chelsea senior Lauren Dark committed to dive for EMU; I made a visit to the local pool to get photos of her for the Standard.

First, Lauren and her coach:

And then Lauren and her parents:

(He successfully avoided the tag — though not by much — and was safe at third.)

Photo of the (Dexter) baseball now: 21 April 2011

Dexter baseball also faced Ann Arbor Huron.  And guess what?  Dexter’s baseball jerseys have numbers on both the front and the back!

Okay, okay…I’m done.  Here are the photos.

Photo of the (Dexter) Softball Now: 21 April 2011

Dexter softball faced Ann Arbor Huron.  Though it was the day after the frigid cold tennis match, it was actually a pleasant sunny spring day nearly perfect for softball.  In other words, if the month of April in Michigan were a person, it would require psychiatric treatment.

Oh, but before the pictures, I have to rant as a photographer…

Hey softball jersey designers: why do you delight in putting only one number on jerseys, that being the number on the back?  Other sports make a habit of putting the numbers in more than one location on the jersey, thereby ensuring that the players’ numbers are almost always visible.  But your jerseys?  No, all too often they have the numbers only on the back, thereby forcing me to make an extra effort to ensure I can identify the players in my photos because I seldom shoot worthwhile action photos from behind the players.  Do the right thing, jersey designers, and make an effort to put the numbers in more than one location on the jerseys.

And now that I have that off my chest…here are the photos.

Home runs get the whole team involved:

Photo of the Tennis Now: 20 April 2011

Tennis wasn’t created to be played in the cold, but on an unseasonably cold April day, Chelsea and Ypsilanti decided to give it a shot anyway.

Photo of the Softball Now: 14 April 2011

Chelsea softball faced Ann Arbor Huron.  You may notice these are all photos of baserunners; that’s because that’s essentially all Chelsea did in this game.  It was…slightly lopsided, and I was short on time to cover softball.  The next set of softball photos will be much more varied.

Photo of the Mule-Kicking Soccer Now: 12 April 2011

Chelsea soccer faced the Kicking Mules of Bedford High School.  Yes, it makes perfect sense for Kicking Mules to play soccer.  (They’re the Going For It Mules in football, remember?)

Photo of the Civil War Now: 11 April 2011

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the official start of the Civil War, the Chelsea Area Historical Society organized a presentation by local Civil War re-enactor George Till.

Till chose a young audience member to wear the gear of a typical Civil War soldier.
