This Week in Chelsea Sports Photography: 25 Jan – 31 Jan

This installment of TWICSP is being filed from Idaho.  This is relevant for two reasons.  First: with mountain views like these, it’s no wonder Idaho’s potatoes are delicious (and famous).  And second: between the whole leaving town thing and my early Saturday morning departure, I had to rush a bit to pick out a few basketball shots before I left so I could put together this post after I arrived in the land of Because Our Knee-High Scrub Is So Real, We Believe Trees Are Merely A Myth Cleverly Constructed By Inscrutably Devious Midwestern Shade-Lovers.

So: here I am in the home of the golden-brown french fry plant (some disassembly required), and here’s your weekly dose — slightly smaller, but still ruthlessly addictive — of Chelsea sports photography.

Wednesday: Hockey
Chelsea defeated Huron, 8-1.


Not only did Andrew Brown score on this shot, but he also managed to put together a hat trick.  That’s why they call him Hat-Trick Brown.  (Well, they would if they had any sense.)

Friday: Basketball
The Chelsea women lost to Dexter, 31-44.

Friday: Basketball
The Chelsea men lost to Dexter, 36-53.

This Week in Chelsea Sports Photography: 30 Nov – 6 Dec

Wednesday: Hoc–uh, never mind.
Chelsea was supposed to play a hockey game against Dexter, but a scheduling problem meant there was only a third of the officiating crew at the arena.  Oops.  The game will be rescheduled.

Saturday: Hockey (really!)
On the strength of an Andrew Brown hat trick, Chelsea beat Plymouth, 5-3.

Bonus Create-Your-Own-Caption Photo:

I spent the football season writing captions; now it’s your turn.  Why is Andrew Brown playing air guitar during the game?  Is he inviting Ethan Johnson (19) to play Guitar Hero after the game?
