Viator grad, I am not one to say nice things about the Notre Dame Dons if I can help it. It was an interesting move to put D’Amico at point guard after the rash of turnovers. They had the Dons ready and did not fold under the intense pressure from Bogan. Okay, I know everybody contributed-Louis Lesmond, Jason Bergstrom, Jimmy Murphy, Frank Lynch and Mac Ross all made it happen without Anthony Sayles.Īnd the inspired coaching from Kevin Clancy and Shay Boyle. He was bringing the ball over the time line and then passing it to himself under the basket to score. Troy D’Amico played two positions at once. Notre Dame amazed me with a huge win over an extremely talented Bogan Begals squad. I like to see as many Chicago Catholic League teams as I can. I got to see Leo in advance of the Friday’s Chicago Catholic League game against DePaul Prep. Orr will be there for the CPS championships. Evanston was just too good for the Spartans. I really wanted to see Bloom and Orr, neither of whom I had not seen yet this year. Of the 900 games (14 actually), I got to see six. Had some blowouts but all well played games. But for pure basketball pleasure, the Team Rose Shootout is it. Then the Team Rose Shootout on Saturday and Sunday. Pick up the print version or subscribe at. More about the games themselves in my weekly column in the Inside Publications. I don’t have the right equipment to make the most of that style. He is very good at doing it this way and gets razor sharp tight images from above. It would have been right up Brian O’Mahoney’s alley. I got some good shoots but for that type of shooting I need better equipment. It was a challenge last night at Loyola to shoot from the balcony well off the floor. As we all know, the light in the gym is the important part of basketball. But not today for the two games at Evanston, I was on the court at it’s wonderful Beardsley Gym. I had to shoot from the balconies above the court. It took a few swings to get back in the groove.

Not exactly riding a bike more like hitting a golf ball. Today was Vernon Hills boy at Evanston, then Vernon Hills girls at Evanston.

I have photographed four basketball games in the last three days and been glad to do it.
