C.B. East Volleyball: Lady Titans Top Lady Patriots 3-1

Posted in Sports No comments

Tuesday evening’s competition pitting the Lady Patriots of C.B. East against the Lady Titans of C.B. South had all the great enthusiasm that you’d expect between two talented cross-town rivals. But after 4 games, the Lady Titans claimed victory over the Lady Patriots 3-1 in a match played at C.B. South High School. Now midway through the “regular season”, The Lady Patriots are 5-4 overall and they won’t see the Lady Titans again until both teams conclude their “regular season” schedule with a rematch at C.B. East later this month.

Here are 12 images highlighting action on the court from Tuesday evening’s game…

CBE Patriots Football: Patriots Show Character in Conference Opener

Posted in Sports, Webshows No comments

It’s often been said that the scoreboard doesn’t always tell the whole story.  And such was the case for C.B. East’s “Continental Conference Opener” this season against Hatboro-Horsham, where the Hatters topped the Patriots 14-7 at Hatboro-Horsham High School this past Friday evening.  What the score didn’t measure this time, however, was the amount of character the Patriots displayed playing their conference opener.  Although the team is understandably still adjusting to a mid-season coaching change, the Patriots remained focused and brought a tremendous level of energy and enthusiasm to Horsham.

Here are 8 image highlights from Friday evening’s photography coverage (including captions beneath each image), followed by this week’s WebShow containing 120 images.  Enjoy!!!

CBE Lady Patriots Volleyball Team Hosts Breast Cancer Fundraiser

Posted in Sports 5 comments

Pink was the color of choice Thursday evening, as both the Lady Patriots of C.B. East and Lady Bucks of C.B. West donned pink uniforms in honor of the evening’s very special “Dig Pink” breast cancer fundraiser.  Pink balloons… a pink bicycle… lots of pink M&M candy… team members wearing pink socks and fashion accessories… pink was THE color!  Even pink volleyballs were used for the match in which the Lady Patriots tallied a 3-0 sweep over their C.B. West cross-town rivals.

Here are 12 of our favorite image highlights from Thursday night’s East vs. West ladies volleyball competition.  And by popular request, our sports event blog images will now include captions underneath each image whenever possible and as our schedule permits — beginning with this post.

These and more Lady Patriots volleyball images will be placed in the C.B. East Ladies Volleyball 2009 Season gallery later this month. Next week, we plan to photograph another cross-town rivalry when the Lady Patriots take on the Lady Titans in a match at C.B. South High School on Tuesday, September 29th.  We hope everyone is enjoying our ladies volleyball coverage this season!

CBE Lady Patriots Volleyball: Games of High Energy and Intense Emotion

Posted in Sports No comments

Everyone likes a challenge to keep life interesting — and creative professionals are no different in that respect. So we’re always excited to bring our “creative enthusiasm” to new audiences.  And for Autumn 2009, it’s Ladies Volleyball… where we recently caught up with the  “Lady Patriots” of Central Bucks East this week for two Varsity volleyball competitions:  Council Rock South (away) and Pennridge (home).

Candidly speaking, volleyball action is extremely quick-paced and lightning fast to capture winning images — a true test for a photographer’s reflexes.   So volleyball fans, please let us know what you think of our photo perspective on the game.  Although we have never produced images for ladies volleyball prior to these games, we hopefully brought enough enthusiasm to help capture some very special moments with images that will bring you right back — and right up close –  to the high-energy, on-court action. At least that was the general game-plan!

First, here are some image highlights from Tuesday evening’s Council Rock South game…

We’ll create a new image gallery for the team entitled C. B. East Ladies Volleyball 2009 Season, which will be located in the online proofing section of our website.   We’ll post these and other photos from games throughout this season in that gallery, and images will be categorized by game.  Due to the quick-paced nature of the sport, we very likely won’t post LOTS of images in the gallery.  But those we do post here and in the gallery will be publication-quality images that capture the subtle nuances, high energy,  intense emotion, and extreme concentration required in this terrific sport!  So Lady Patriots volleyball fans, please stay tuned to our blog for more image recaps and gallery images of what’s shaping up to be an exciting season!
