Pat Donaghy captures memories at the Minnesota State High School League Lacrosse State Tournament.
“… East Ridge [High School] was playing against Champlin Park [last June]. The player jumping for the ball is Keria Limpert. Interestingly enough, I coached Keira in lacrosse for several years and am good friends with the family. To be able to capture this moment was an inspirational memory that I will carry with me for a long time,” says Pat Donaghy, hobby photographer and team photographer for East Ridge sports.
“This photo was taken at a draw control … Two players square up, and the ball is placed between their sticks and, on the referee’s whistle, the players push the ball up in the air and compete for possession,” Donaghy says. “… Lacrosse is one of those sports that highlights athleticism, so it is my favorite sport to watch and take photographs.”
