The DePaul Prep girls volleyball team defeated Lake View in straight sets to will the 3A DePaul Prep Regional. The Rams move on to play Payton College Prep on Tuesday at St. Ignatius.
I took these shots from higher up than Tuesday’s photos and from the South side of the gym. The shots form higher up seem a little better to me. The shots form the North side of the gym seem just as good as the ones from the South side.
So from this little volleyball photography experiment I have been doing over the past few volleyball matches, it seems that a variety of shots from above and below, from on the edge of the court, from across from the bench and from behind the bench all produce usable interesting photos.
And as for the Rams, wow are they a good volleyball team. I have photographed the Rams for about three seasons now. This is the best volleyball team that I have seen. What is so remarkable is how many outstanding players are on the team. All of them are excellent players. There doesn’t seem to be a starting group. Maybe that is because head coach Caroline Gjazler has the luxury of starting so many different players who play and a very high level.
One could split this team and two, put each of the squads in opposite brackets and they could meet each in the title game. I only exaggerate a little.
But St. Ignatius lies ahead. Focus.
