October and November Photo Round-Up.

FiveBlocks has upgraded to a new computer and media software.  Soon FiveBlocks will be on a new website; we were hoping to have the new platform up with the new system and all at once but alas…it will be a bit still.

What FiveBlocks will do is keep the postings up as before and hopefully with less time in between until one day you come by and you will be on the new site.  

Thanks for enduring the long pause with us….hopefully it was harder on us than it was on you but if we do our job right no one will have to worry about that again.  One of the exciting things we have planned is video on the new site…and it really looks great…so plan to be a little homesick if you live far away but then it will give you some ideas of new things to visit or just a few laughs if you already live here.  More on other surprises and things we have planned…later…

In the interim, it’s not like we haven’t been busy so check out the latest Photo Round up…

Gaucho Football Starts.

WARM UP: A Saddleback Gaucho player warms up on the field before the game against the San Jacinto Eagles.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Saddleback Gauchos began their season last week with a loss but all that changed last night ain play against the San Jacinto Eagles(Hemet).  The Eagles never a lead on the board and Saddleback played agressively through out the game to win 41-15.  The Eagles had a little push in the last quarter but could not bring the score up, even against a score of Saddlebacks substitutions.

I shot it for the Lariat News, Sadlleback’s school newspaper (lariatnews.com) and you can see the game photos there.  I shot High School football all last year and there is quite a difference in speed and hitting.  Saddleback has a large squad and everyone from boosters, players and coaches had a good time and a good attitude.  Both teams played well and although the Eagles pushed hard, my impression was they do not have the size of player that Saddleback has, nor a wide range of talent.
