Cavaliers 37 vs Électriks 21

The RSEQ College Football season is coming to an end and my old school's football team, The Champlain Cavaliers were having their final home game of the season against the visiting Shawinigan Électriks.  It was a rather important game as the Cavaliers sat in a third place tie in their division with three wins and three loses.  A win would definitely help them in their quest for a play-off spot.  The first half as kind of spotty as the offence scored two big touchdowns, but were also responsible to a turn-over late in the 2nd Quarter that led to a Shawinigan touchdown and a 21-14 lead at half-time.  However, things turned around in the 3rd Quarter.  The Cavaliers scored 16 unanswered points to grab a 30-21 lead and never looked back, eventually winning the game by the score of 37-21.  The victory locked up a play-off spot for the Cavaliers, but if they can win their final game next Saturday in Drummondville, they could possibly host a first-round game in their hunt to win the Bol d'Or.  We'll be wishing them good luck, and maybe I might find myself at a play-off game in a few weeks.  It was a beautiful day for football and photography.  The sun was nice and bright, but the occasional cloud would force me to quickly up the ISO from time to time, so after missing a few plays, I decided to save myself the headache and just leave the ISO at 400 and not have to worry about it anymore.  A wise choice indeed.  The first photograph was taken at f/6.3, 1/320sec, ISO 100 at 200mm and the second photograph was taken at f/6.3, 1/250sec, ISO 100 at 200mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of the action on the field.

Unless there happens to be a home play-off game, this was the final Cavaliers home game of the season.  It was great to be back out there on the field photographing some live sports after everything that has happened over the last two years.  Best of luck to the Cavaliers on their march to the play-offs.
