Almond Bowl XXXIX

Almond Bowl XXXIX was last Friday and for the first time I was able to stay till the end. Normally I have to head back at halftime to edit the photos for the newspaper. This time I was able to edit from the field using our laptop. I emailed the photos I liked best and was able to stay the whole game. It was really great actually. After the game I sat down and plucked the rest of the pictures for a photo gallery online. Here are the best shots from the game.
