FLY ON THE SIDELINE
.S
s Thanksgiving
approached, i sat
down and really
thought about this past
fall sports season.
I realized I have a lot
to be thankful for.
At the top of the list
would have to be my
sister, Jamie. She's my
partner in crime on the
football sidelines and
works as my spotter.
While taking photos
during games, my eye
is usually trained to the
camera lens, narrowing
my field of vision. That's
where Jamie comes in.
Whenever a football player
comes close to crashing
into me, she
grabs the handle
of my camera bag
and yanks me out ~m especially thankfuJ to the
of the way.
She's come in CO che too the ti e out
handy several
times this season schedHles to talk to me
and in seasons
By EMILY past.
HANSON Another aspect
of the fall season
I'm grateful for I had a new helper this Quinn really helped me pro-
was the weather. While it season I'd like to thank. Ron vide more equal coverage to
was sometimes colder or Quinn in Belfair stepped in the sports teams of Mason
windier than I'd prefer, and took photos for me at County.
I don't recall leaving any several North Mason games Speaking of equal cover-
game soaked to the bone and the final Shetton football age, I'm especially thankful
and that's always a plus. Ingame. to the coaches who took the
seasons past, I haven't beenIt's not possible for me to time out of their busy sched-
so lucky, be everywhere at once and ules to talk to me about
their teams.
I know it's not always
a treat being interviewed,
but these coaches sat down
every week and answered
my questions. Almost more
importantly, they answered
them well ahead of my dead-
line, easing my stress levels
a tad.
"Fall sports are now over
and looking into the winter
season there's one more as-
pect of my job I'm thankful
for.
That would be that winter
sports are all indoors, mean-
ing that for the next three
months at least, I'm inside
where it's always dry, if not
always warm.
