Karsyn Jarrett - Hickory

Originally uploaded by John Setzler.

Hickory High’s Karsyn Jarrett scored 14 tonight as she led the Lady Tornadoes past the Newton-Conover Red Devils, making their record on the season 20 wins and no losses. I think the Lady Tornadoes have two more games in regular conference play, but they are simply unbeatable within our conference. After regular season play ends next Friday, the conference tournament will take place, and then the Lady Tornadoes will be off as a #1 seed in the state playoffs.

This photo is running on the front of the A section in tomorrow’s paper rather than on the sports pages. The news desk asked me to get a feature photo from the game if the Hickory girls won (like they could lose!) I had stumbled across this particular idea a while back as I was making some photos of people at the charity stripe. Originally, this was accidental and I didn’t like the idea very well, but I decided to TRY to get it for this particular assignment. I didn’t think I would be able to make this happen, but oddly enough, it wasn’t too difficult to reproduce…
