DePaul Prep Defeats Fenwick to Advance to Chipotle Clash of Championship

With the blizzard of basketball games at the end of this COVID season and then the immediate start of football, not to mention that I am writing a high school sports column now, it has taken me a long time to process all the photos from the basketball season.

These are the photos from the afternoon game between Fenwick and DePaul Prep.

DePaul defeated Fenwick in a close game. DePaul went out to an early lead but Fenwick slowly got back in it. As I recall, they may have tied the game or even taken a one point lead late in the fourth quarter.

Right at the end, Bryce Hopkins had the ball only down by three. He could have forced overtime.

Instead he lost the handle on the ball under pressure by Brian Mathews and Rasheed Bello. TY Johnson scooped it up and DePaul went on to defeat Evanston later that same evening.

I am generally happy with these photos. But they are so graining because I was principally using my Canon 7D. I love that camera. I know how to use it and it has a high frame rate. It just produces graining pictures with its APC sensor. Very good camera—just not full frame .

Hope you like the photos.
