Can You Fly a Football Player?

I promised to put up some pictures I took of the Edison High School vs. Newport Harbor game (56-22 Edison Freshman). To my surprise I caught the PERFECT shot! My son, Elijah, was returning a punt, when he juked this kid. In a last attempt to tackle him, the kid reached out grabbed hold of his belt and I captured THIS...

The Answer: YES. Elijah Herrera flew a football player like a kite!LOL!

Here's how his run progressed...





The other team couldn't bring him down...but he finally tripped to end the great run.

Anyways...I LOVE that first kite flying shot. I told him, "It looks like you're running so fast that you lifted him off the ground." I think I'm going to blow it up to a poster size and surprise him with it.

Here is his Touchdown run later in the game...






I was really happy with all of my pictures this week. I caught a bunch of shots in mid air of a lot of the players. The team is going to be really excited.

I'm such a perfectionist...I've been pretty upset with my shots the last few weeks. FINALLY some decent ones.

SIDE NOTE: VARSITY & J.V. WON TOO!

Another Win For Edison High School

We are on a roll! Last week the freshmen team for Edison H.S. won a hard battle against Esperanza 16-14. Elijah scored both of the touchdowns...which was very cool because it was his first this season. I told him, "You waited till it really counted!" That was our first official league game.

ELIJAH HERRERA #9- TOUCHDOWN #1

TOUCHDOWN #2





Juking & Out Running to the End Zone
He is having such an awesome season. He's spent his whole life on that field watching his older brothers play. It's so nice to see him finally out there showing HIS stuff! He also plays outside linebacker and is doing incredible on defense too. I'm so proud of him!



We just got back from their second league game against Newport Harbor H.S. We killed them 56-22. We put our second string in when it was 50-8. We had a complete team win...everyone played well. Elijah got another TD and caught several passes and had a great punt return juking about five guys.

I'll post some pics after I upload them. I LOVE Football season!!

SIDE NOTE: Our Varsity team is ranked #1 in CA and one report has us at 4th in the Nation...GO EDISON!!
