Last Wednesday on Feb. 4, the Ohio Bobcats played a rival team the Akron Zips at the Convocation Center in Athens, Ohio. It was probably one of the more exciting home games OU has had in the past few weeks during the spring semester. It was also the first time I've ever had a remote camera at a game which I thank Logan Riely for helping me setup. OU finished the game at 83-82 with Ohio Bobcats guard Javarez Willis (3) contributing 18 points.

Several weeks ago, I photographed another Ohio University basketball game at the Convocation center. The Bobcats played the St. Bonaventure Bonnies in a heated game that ended as a loss for the cats, 80-70.

This past weekend I shot the Ohio University vs. Appalachian State University on Nov. 15th, our second game in the Convo this year. Freshmen Ryan Taylor lead the team by scoring 21 points and Freshman Antonino Campbell scored 13 points that brought OU to a final winning score of 73-47. It was also energetic Saul Phillips's, Ohio University's new basketball coach that previously coached for the North Dakota State Bisons, second home game for the season. 

On the very beginning of this week, I woke up abruptly around 7:30 to a message from my editor about a fire on West Union. I left within minutes to find firefighters still fighting the remaining hotspots.
