High school football photos by Stephen Port

Stephen and another student attended a high school football game with me at Greenon High School on Sept. 16. Stephen was the photographer that night and got some great shots at what turned out to be a runaway victory for Kenton Ridge.

Stephen had two assignments. One was to put together a group of four photos that would be used in the next day's newspaper. The next was a group of 12 that would be used in an online photo gallery.

If you want to know more about the game, you can read the story I wrote for the Springfield News-Sun. I do a lot of freelance work for the newspaper.

Controversial call sparks Kenton Ridge past Greenon

By Kimberly Garlick

A controversial play in the second quarter contributed to Kenton Ridge’s 43-14 Central Buckeye Conference win over Greenon Friday night.

Kenton Ridge’s Kyle Sarven punted to the Knights out of his own end zone. Greenon’s Sebastian Conner “fumbled” the ball and was knocked over on the play while Kenton Ridge’s Ben Perkins recovered the ball and ran 63 yards to score a touchdown, breaking a 7-7 tie. However, the play was not a fumble. It was a muffed punt, which cannot be advanced in high school football.
