Capturing High School Basketball Action in Kings Mountain, NC
This year, I’ve been doing contract work for TPS Photography, a local photography company based in Morganton, NC, that specializes in yearbook contracts for various high schools. As part of my work with them, I’m covering sports action photography, documenting high school athletes in action.
On the evening of January 26, 2021, I traveled to Kings Mountain, NC, to photograph an exciting basketball matchup between Kings Mountain High School and Crest High School from Shelby, NC. This was my first time covering high school basketball during the COVID-19 pandemic, and I have to say, it was a unique experience seeing players compete while wearing face masks.
The Importance of Sports Photography
Sports photography is more than just capturing the action—it's about preserving the energy, determination, and teamwork that make each game special. High-quality sports images provide schools, athletes, and families with lasting memories while also being an essential part of yearbook and athletic program coverage. Whether it’s the intensity of a game-winning shot or the emotion of a hard-fought match, every photo tells a story.
Here are a few of my favorite images from the night’s game.
