Belton High School Soccer

The Temple Daily Telegram called me up again to shoot a couple of Belton soccer matches against Garland Rowlett in the area-round playoffs on Friday. It was a beautiful day and I never pass up a chance to improve at shooting sports that I am not entirely familiar with. The girls won 1-0 and boys lost 2-0 in a very physical match. Freelancing is always a good way to end the week. Enjoy.
A beautiful Friday at Mesquite Memorial Stadium.
