JR Pendergrass had a candy bar in his locker, for after the game. It’s missing, and he now has a can of whup-ass with your name on the return label. (John Fisken photos)
Hunter Downes: “Don’t make me run. I’m full of chocolate.”
Brenden Gilbert: “DOWNNNNNEEESSS!!!! You dare to mess with lineman chocolate?!?!?”
Dylan Schachtner: “Unless it was really me…”
Wiley Hesselgrave: “I will burn down your house of chocolate with you in it, Goldilocks!! Three generations from now, your family will cry when they look at a candy bar!!!!!”
Matt Stevens: “Good lord, Hesselgrave. Is is too late to go play tennis instead? Seriously. Guys? Guys?”
Clay Reilly, being a veteran, stays out of the fray, staring thoughtfully off at the setting sun, thinking about baseball season. Or candy bars. Probably candy bars.
Let’s face it, girls are better than boys.
OK, let me clarify. What I’m talking about is high school female athletes posing for photos, as opposed to their male counterparts.
The ladies love the camera and are far, far more willing to be goofy or entertaining, while the dudes too often buy into the idea that you have to simply stare at the camera with no smile or it somehow shows weakness.
Like anything, it’s not always true.
Hunter Hammer had a love affair with the camera, Gavin O’ Keefe had a huge smile in every pic ever taken and Joel Walstad couldn’t tamp down his impish charm. There are guys who will step up.
But, as a whole, girls kicks guys butt.
So, it’s nice to leaf through the CHS football portraits taken recently by John Fisken and see some variety.
A smile here, an artful pose there. Some individuality breaking out.
I’ve gathered some of the best for your quick-reading perusal today, as concrete proof that, hey guys, be willing to play to the camera (at least a little bit) and it’s far more likely you’ll see your picture up on Coupeville Sports.
If that’s your thing.
If not, carry on. McKenzie Bailey will be back any second.
