Action shoot.

PANNING!

Ethan runs circles around the camera, showing off his impressive donut skills, after his great round in basketball game Friday night. He made 12 puzzling attempts for half court, it was funny.
Dead!


Ashley focuses on the net arms up and ready to shoot a free throw after being knocked down and thrown across the floor. She made the two free throws and those two points put them far enough in the led and they won the game!
Anything photo-

Ethan dribbles up to the net in a successful attempt for a three pointer. Those three points really helped the team out and put them back on top.
