Day 25: March Basketball Three

Limited permission was granted to use photos taken for these events on this site.
Hello! This is part of a one-week series showcasing my basketball sports photo work, unaffiliated with the actual March Madness basketball tournament starting soon in the US.
In this varsity boys basketball game, I stood near the net just outside the boundary and set the frame to have the net barely in view. In other words, instead of following the ball, I locked on to a single perspective and waited for the players to come to it. This makes it easier, and although you might miss a few key moments out on the field, there's less risk and you can get some great action photos.
This isn't primarily a sports blog, so you won't see an accurate count of the movements and the points here. Go search for the players and the schools somewhere else — my apologies, but you're better off on other places around on the Internet for that kind of thing!
