More from my extended back yard (the Eastern Sierra) last May. While California continues to cry drought and dry up, it would appear my trip was rich in water presence. Night sky over ponds, melting ice in a high Sierra lake, wonderful clouds over Mono Lake. Even my beloved wild horses had water. I have been able to visit these wonderful creatures a few times over the last several years, but this was the first year water came into the picture. This time, the water seemed to be a barrier between me and them, and I thought I was looking at a shutout. I stuck with it, threaded a sometimes muddy route closer to them, and was graciously rewarded.
With lockdown in place it is against the rules for me to go to places I like to shoot, so I though I would try to create a series called Isolated creativity. The series is not intended to be a diary but a way of documenting thoughts and emotions via photography.
At points during this crisis I have found it both difficult and depressing to deal with the constant stream of often horrendous news and have therefore tried to limit myself to listening to the news just once a day.
My thanks go to my wonderful and patient model.
Thomas was just too good, and the Bruins are the NHL's best.
The Cup is headed back to the Hub of Hockey.
The Bruins are the first team in NHL history to win a Game 7 three times in the same postseason, and Thomas posted shutouts in the decisive game of the Eastern Conference finals and the Stanley Cup finals. The Bruins' postgame celebration centered around Thomas, who carried them through long stretches of a perilous postseason that began with two home losses to Montreal.

We lucked out again with the showing of Mt. Rainier on this early morning. We came out here the previous evening for sunset only to be shutout with a thick layer of cloud. We went back to the Paradise Lodge to sleep for the night and upon waking up, the clouds were as thick as it was the night before. Paradise would basically be centered on this picture sitting in the middle of the cloud layer. In fact we almost slept in this morning but decided to give it a try again. Luckily, after driving to the trailhead and hiking halfway up the trail, we emerged from the fog with a clear view of the mountain top. After hiking a little further up the trail, we settled here to enjoy the sunrise.

Well, tonight is it. Game 7 of the Pens - Lightning series. Who better to feature that Max Talbot, part of the heart and soul of the team. Talbot scored the only two Penguin goals in Game 7 of the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals en route to a Pens victory. It's going to be a great game tonight, and I've got a good feeling about the outcome!
I took this one a few months back in warmups with Max looking right down my lens! You can see the reflection of the person standing beihnd me across his face, but other than that, I like the shot! You can even see the gum sticking out of his mouth!
LET'S GO PENS!!!

Made for the 6th and last day of VignWeek (A RebelLUG hosted contest.) The category was 'Starwars plus another theme'.
I like to think this happened to Vader after the first death star blew up. Uninvited and hungry.
Also shutout to Full Plate, his trees helped inspire these ones. I couldn't for the life of me remember how to leaf weave at 2AM xD

Garry Bauman - Garry Glenwood Bauman (July 21, 1940 – October 16, 2006) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played 35 games in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens and Minnesota North Stars from 1967 to 1969. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1964 to 1972, was spent in various minor leagues. Playing career - Bauman and Montreal teammate Charlie Hodge shared goaltending duties in the 1967 NHL All-Star game, combining to record the first—and still only—shutout in the history of the event. It was one of only three games Bauman played with Montreal before being selected by the North Stars in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. He played parts of two seasons with the Stars, and then returned to Alberta to play for Calgary in the Alberta Senior League.
Starting out his trek, Bauman played the Saskatchewan Junior League for the Prince Albert Mintos, playing 80 games over the 1958-59 and 1959-60 seasons. After not going the Major Junior route, Bauman moved onto the NCAA system, playing for the Michigan Tech Huskies starting in the 1961-62 season, where he would go 24-1-0 in 25 games, helping the Huskies win the NCAA National Championship. Bauman also earned NCAA West First-Team All-American honors, NCAA All-Tournament Team, and WCHA First All-Star Team honors. After a big start to his career, Bauman hoped to keep up the amazing play, but would fall short in the 1962-63 season, finishing with a 16-9-1 record, while ending out his college career with a 12-12-0 record in 24 games in the 1963-64 season. Bauman's save percentage (.916) and longest winning-streak (16 wins) still stand as record for Michigan Tech.
After college, Bauman signed with the Montreal Canadiens, who placed him in the Central League's Omaha Knights for the 1964-65 season, where he would attain a 22-16-5 record in 43 games, as well as going 2-4 in six playoff matches. The 1965-66 season saw Bauman move up to the AHL with the Quebec Aces, getting ample playing time with 52 appearances and a 36-11-4 record to show for it, going 2-4 in the playoffs again. Bauman played most of the 1966-67 season with the Aces, going 21-15-4 in 40 appearances, but would also get time with the Canadiens, going 1-1-0 in his two games there. However, the best part about Bauman's call up is that he was afforded the chance to play in the All-Star Game that season, which was held for the first time mid-season since the original All-Star Game, which was to benefit Ace Bailey. Also, the previous Stanley Cup champions played a team of stars from other teams, which meant that Bauman got to play. Though it was only for 20 minutes, he stopped all 10 shots he faced. He and his goaltending partner Charlie Hodge are the only goalies to record a shutout in an All-Star Game. Over the summer, six more expansion teams came into the NHL. Bauman was picked up in the Expansion Draft by the Minnesota North Stars, where he would play in the 1967-68 season, going a dismal 4-13-5 in 26 games, while also seeing time in the AHL with the Rochester Americans, losing two games in only three appearances. The 1968-69 season wasn't as stellar for Bauman either, as he would only play seven times for the North Stars (0-2-1), before being sent to the Central League's Memphis South Stars-- playing in six games there. After taking a year off from hockey, Bauman returned to his native Alberta, playing for the Calgary Stampeders of the Alberta Senior League. He would play there for two season (1970-71 and 1971-72) before retiring for good. With his hockey career done, Bauman went into teaching, at the Strathcona-Tweedsmuir School in Okotoks, Alberta. He stayed there until his retirement in 1999. He taught math and sciences at the school. However, cancer would claim Bauman's life in 2006, but the memory of his good deeds off the ice will live on.

During the 1968-69 season, Johnny Bower is pictured above wearing an early goalie mask in a seldom seen moment showcasing the evolution of hockey.
John William Bower nicknamed "The China Wall", was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender and inductee to the Hockey Hall of Fame, who won four Stanley Cups during his career with the Toronto Maple Leafs. In 2017 he was named one of the "100 Greatest NHL Players" in history. His song "Honky Goose" reached #29 on the CHUM Charts in December 1965.
While Johnny Bower is well-known for playing most of his career without a goaltender mask, he did wear one during his final season, the 1969-70 season. According to a Facebook post, he began wearing it in the 1968-69 season. One specific photograph from the December 10, 1969 game in Montreal where Bower played his last NHL game shows him wearing a mask. Several websites, including eBay listings, offer reproduction photos of Johnny Bower wearing a mask during game action with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Goaltender Johnny Bower played in his final NHL game, on Dec. 10, 1969, at the age of 45. He lost 6-3 to the Canadiens in his lone start of the 1969-70 season. He retired with a record of 250-192-90, with 37 shutouts, for the Rangers and Maple Leafs. He is also the American Hockey League’s all-time leader with 359 wins. In that same game, Claude Provost’s empty-net goal made him the eighth player to score 250 goals for the Habs.

Early sunlight finally pierces the bottom of the canyon, and right on time, a westbound stack train winds through Rainbow Canyon. Maybe it's a Nevada thing, but after getting shutout a couple weekends in a row on the LA&SL, I reluctantly dragged myself out for another go...and everything clicked into place!
Dodgers legendary pitcher Fernando Valenzuela has died today at age 63.
Fernando Valenzuela Jersey number 34 at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
In 1981 at the age of 18, Valenzuela joined the Dodgers. He had five shutouts in his first eight games. Deemed unstoppable, "Fernandomania" took hold of Dodger fans. He was named Rookie of the year in 1981. He also won the Cy Young Award making him the only player in history to win both awards in one season.
Caroline and I braved the elements yesterday so we coud catch some of that sweet light which can last for hours here during the winter months.......well we were not shutout....over the next several days I'm sure we'll both be posting shot from this little incursion into Lamont County
A departure from norm of what I’ve been posting, but there was a special celebration in New Jersey. Today March 8th, 2014 at the “Rock” otherwise known as the Prudential Center in Downtown Newark, the New Jersey Devils Franchise celebrated the twentieth anniversary of their first Stanley Cup in 1995 when they were still playing what at that time was called the Brendan Byrne Arena in the New Jersey Meadowlands Sports Complex by holding a ceremony prior to tonight’s game that I unfortunately could not get tickets to. They brought back much of that team including the victorious coach Jacques Lemaire and most of the players & heroes including recently retired goaltender Martin Broudeur, number 30 and the ‘captain’ Scott Stevens number 4. To commemorate that special memory, I’m posting this last image of Marty Broudeur that I took at the Prudential Center in March of 2012 at a game I went with son to where the Devils beat the visiting Philadelphia Flyers the last season that they made a Stanley Cup run losing to the Los Angeles Kings.
Martin Pierre Broudeur who will surely find his way to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto Canada, is the National Hockey League all time leader in wins (691), losses (397), shutouts(125) and games played(1266) and led the New Jersey Devils Club to 3 Stanley Cups in 5 Stanley Cup Finals appearances, 2 Olympic Golds for Team Canada. Congrats to all those players who brought New Jersey it first title against the Detroit Redwings and now that the Nets are in Brooklyn, New Jersey’s only team.

NJ Devils Happy 20th for 1995 Cup!
. . . I was pleasantly surprised today to find a Killdeer out in the fields yet! I suppose there are still bugs out here to find as a food source since we have had little snow.
I was searching for a much bigger white bird to tell the truth, and didn't find any, so this little guy prevented a shutout! It was difficult to focus on the Killdeer though, with so much of the tiny vegetation in the field!
Have a great Thanksgiving week Facebook, Flickr, and 500px friends!

Roberto Luongo (born April 4, 1979) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player. He played 19 seasons in the National Hockey League as a goaltender for the New York Islanders, Florida Panthers, and Vancouver Canucks. In 2022, Luongo was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame. Luongo is a two-time NHL All-Star (2004 and 2007) and winner of the William M. Jennings Trophy for backstopping his team to the lowest goals against average in the league (2011, with backup Cory Schneider). He was a finalist for several awards, including the Vezina Trophy as the league's best goaltender (2004, 2007, and 2011), the Lester B. Pearson Award as the top player voted by his peers (2004 and 2007), and the Hart Memorial Trophy as the league's most valuable player (2007). Luongo is third all-time in games played as an NHL goaltender (1,044) and fourth all-time in wins (489). He employed the butterfly style of goaltending.
Born in Montreal, Quebec, he played in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League for the Val-d'Or Foreurs and the Acadie-Bathurst Titan, winning back-to-back President's Cups and establishing the league's all-time playoff records for games played and wins. Following his second QMJHL season, Luongo was selected fourth overall by the Islanders in the 1997 NHL Entry Draft. After splitting his professional rookie season between the Islanders and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Lowell Lock Monsters in 1999–2000, he was traded to the Panthers. In five seasons with Florida, Luongo established team records for games played, wins, and shutouts; despite several strong seasons, however, the Panthers remained a weak team and were unable to qualify for the Stanley Cup playoffs during Luongo's initial stint with the team. During the 2006 offseason, he was traded to the Canucks after failed contract negotiations with the Panthers.
In his first season in Vancouver, Luongo won 47 games, and was runner-up for both the Hart Memorial Trophy (league MVP) and Vezina Trophy (best goaltender). Following his second year with the Canucks, he became the first NHL goaltender to serve as a team captain since Bill Durnan in the 1947–48 season. Luongo served in that capacity for two seasons before resigning from the position in September 2010. In the subsequent 2010–11 season, he helped the Canucks to Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final but lost to the Boston Bruins. During his eight-year tenure with Vancouver, Luongo became the team's all-time leader in wins and shutouts. He returned to the Panthers during the 2013–14 season, where he spent the remainder of his career, qualifying for the playoffs with the Panthers only once during that time. He was the last active goaltender to have played in the NHL in the 1990s. Following his playing career, Luongo joined the Panthers' front office as an executive, ultimately winning back-to-back Stanley Cup championships in 2024 and 2025.
Internationally, Luongo has competed for Team Canada in numerous tournaments. As a junior, he won a silver medal at the 1999 World Junior Championships, while being named Best Goaltender in his second tournament appearance. Luongo won two gold medals at the 2003 and 2004 World Championships and a silver in the 2005 World Championships. He also won the 2004 World Cup championship and appeared in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin as a backup to Martin Brodeur in both instances. He succeeded Brodeur as Canada's starting goaltender during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, winning a gold medal. On January 7, 2014, he was named to the 2014 Canadian Olympic hockey team, where he won his second Olympic gold medal in a largely backup role to Carey Price.

Actualment la dona sahrauí utilitza diversos productes per embellir; el maquillatge, la henna, els perfums, però la major part de l'atenció femenina està dedicada a la cura de la seva pell. Les mascaretes per hidratar, però sobretot per aclarir, per blanquejar la pell constitueixen un dels signes que cal interpretar per entendre la concepció de la bellesa femenina que tenen les dones sahrauí.

The Fatumata shutout.
Currently Sahrawi women use several products to beautify; makeup, henna, perfume, but most of the female attention is devoted to the care of your skin. Masks to hydrate, but above all to clarify, skin whitening is one of the signs that should be interpreted to understand the concept of female beauty have Saharawi women.

The Minnesota Twins (57-64) welcomed the AL Central leading Detroit Tigers (71-52) to Target Field on Friday 8/15/25 for game 2 of the 4 game weekend series. After a short 26 minute rain delay the game started for the 27,282 fans in attendance.
The Tigers struck early by putting up 5 runs in the first inning off of Twins starting pitcher Pierson Ohl.
The Tigers would add on another 2 runs in the 3rd inning increasing their lead to 7-0.
The Twins only collected 2 hits all night off of Detroit’s pitching staff led by 41 year old starting pitcher Charlie Morton. Morton pitched 6 shutout innings only allowing 2 hits and striking out 5 batters.
The Tigers won the game 7-0 improving their record to 72-52. The Twins record dropped to 57-65.
After the game fans were treated to a postgame concert from country music star Dustin Lynch. He performed a full 90 minute show for everyone and it was great!

EPCOT Future World
Mission Space Pavilion
This may look familiar, but is a slightly different composition than the last one I posted several months ago. That sky is just too beautiful to not post, even if it is a very similar shot.
I had a great time shooting EPCOT with Don Sullivan this particular night last August. The plan was for Don and I to join Cory Disbrow at the Magic Kingdom for extra magic hours after we shot Illuminations at EPCOT first. Hoping to do some sunset shooting before Illuminations over by the Imagination Pavilion, the sun was masked by grey skies all around us. Accepting a sunset shoot shutout, we gave up and decided to wander over toward Mission Space. Just as we arrived at that Pavilion a few minutes later, the sun broke through the clouds behind us just as it started to dip below the horizon and painted these beautiful yellow, magenta, and blue colors on the low clouds hanging over us. Knowing it would be gone by the time we headed back to the Imagination Pavilion, we quickly set up inside the Mission Space queue and used the sky as a backdrop for the rocket in the queue. The only lenses I was carrying at the time were the 24 and 50mm primes, and the 15mm fisheye. I shot a few with the 50mm, but quickly switched to the fisheye to gain the ultra-wide perspective that captured the beautiful transition of warm to cool colors in the sky. Hope you guys like this one as much as I do!
Congrats to the Minutewomen!
STORRS, CT. -- No. 14 Massachusetts (17-5, 7-0 A-10) claimed a historic 1-0 shutout victory over No. 10 Harvard (16-4, 6-1) in the NCAA Elite Eight on Sunday at Nancy Stevens Field. With the win, the Minutewomen advanced to their fifth Final Four and first since 1992.

2020: part two.
It's like 2020 never ended ...last year was another surprisingly eventful non-event year.
While at least 2020 I was able to go to one convention, 2021 was a complete shutout, but there were a lot of memorable things and builds that did surprisingly happen!
I think one of the most humbling thing was I was named Mr. RebelLUG - Builder of the Year by the members of RebelLUG, joining the likes of Eli, who took home this prestigious title last year.
I also achieved the dream of displaying at the LEGO house - I placed in one of the LEGO ideas contests to have 'my' Hexahedral Planetoid displayed in Billund :)
I also had the pleasure of penning a few deep dive articles for BrickNerd, and doing hilarious challenging MOC builds from a Mosaic set for New Elementary.
Let's not forget the contest and challenges that I was involved in some way or another, the high/low light probably being RebelLUG's VignWeek -something I helped run the previous two years and finally partaking in this year, fighting against several Iron Builders and insanely good builders. I also dove into World of Darkness, and finding a new colour scheme love: Sand Blue.
... Speaking of Iron Builders - it was another successful year - It never ceases to amaze me the builds that come out and how builders step up for Iron Builder or the Forge to really show us their chops.
With more than a build a week, I don't think I topped last year, the last quarter I was just slammed at work and really didn't finish the year strong at all. But if last year was a creative boon driven by contests and challenges, I was really happy with this year's builds. I did far more builds 'for me' - things that I just enjoyed building and thought would be fun, from TV Shows and movies I watched, to a whole series of helicopters i never knew I had an itch to do. I probably iterated more than I ever have for a build (thanks Luke!) and overall flex a bit more of my creative muscle and colour pallets.
And despite the lack of conventions, it was a nice surprise to get to know a few new people and engage at more than the superficial LEGO levels. From random calls, FOL Fridays, to build calls to #PortalBuddies and #GatewayBuddies, I was glad to be able to spend some time with people ;)
Though I do miss #SiMonocrhomaticSymetrical

2007 World Champions!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!
I got this hat during the 2004 season, when they won the championship, so it's a lucky hat. Now it's been around for 2 championships! : )
World Series Game 1: Red Sox 13, Rockies 1. Woohooo! That was a fun one, very enjoyable from the get go! Memorables: Beckett's on a historic run, Pedroia Lead-off HR, 17 Hits, 13 Runs by 5th inning, etc.
World Series Game 2: Red Sox 2, Rockies 1. That was a nail biter with some solid pitching! Memorables: Pick-off in 8th of Holliday, Schill, Oki, Pap - buh-buy!
World Series Game 3: Red Sox 10, Rockies 5. Rockies make a late run, then Sox blow it open with an Ellsbury (4 hits) double in 8th. The rookies were the story (Ellsbury, Pedroia, Matsuzaka). Dice-K pitches well and drives in 2 with single. Pap closes the door again.
World Series Game 4: Red Sox 4, Rockies 3. Lester pitches shutout ball into the 6th, lead 4-1 in 8th, Hawpe homer makes it close. Lowell and Kielty HR's finish the deal. Pap in to close - WORLD CHAMPS!!!!!!
Those Rockies pitchers sure weren't facing the Diamondbacks hitters anymore! Lol!
I actually like the Rockies, too. I have rooted for the Rockies up until now, but that time is over. Been a fan of the Sox since 1979 when I started getting into baseball as an 8 year old growing up in Yankee country (Syracuse, New York). I rebelled against all the Yankee love and rooted for Yaz, F. Lynn, Rice, Fisk and company back then. Hated Reggie Jackson, Billy Martin, Bucky Dent, etc!!

Tonight is the night...Pekka Rinne, retired goaltender for the Nashville Predators, has his #35 jersey retired and hoisted into the rafters of Bridgestone Arena in Downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Rinne, at 6' 5" from Kempele, Finland, was selected in 8th round (No. 258) by the Nashville Predators in the 2004 NHL Draft, soon after he and Karpat Oulu won the first of two consecutive championships in Liiga, the top professional league in his native Finland. He played his entire 13-season NHL career for the Predators, retiring as their regular-season leader in games (683), starts (667), wins (369), shutouts (60), goals-against average (2.43) and saves (17,627) and had a .917 save percentage. He is first among Finland-born goalies in NHL regular-season games, starts, wins and shutouts, is tied with Tom Barrasso for 19th in NHL wins, and is 19th in shutouts. He won his Stanley Cup Playoff debut in Game 1 of the 2010 first round against the Chicago Blackhawks, which was the first road victory in Predators playoff history. Rinne's goaltending was also key to Nashville's first trip to the Stanley Cup Final in 2017. He was 14-8 with a 1.96 GAA and .930 save percentage in 22 playoff games, helping Nashville eliminate the Chicago Blackhawks, St. Louis Blues and Anaheim Ducks before losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins in the Final. After being runner-up for the Vezina twice, Rinne won the award given to the NHL's best goalie in 2018, finishing 42-13-4 with a 2.31 GAA, .927 save percentage and eight shutouts. He also became the 12th NHL goalie to score a goal when he shot the puck from behind his own goal line into an empty net against the Chicago Blackhawks on Jan. 9, 2020. He was named an All-Star in 2011 (2nd team), 2016, 2018 (1st team), & 2019. And, in 2021 Rinne won the King Clancy Memorial Trophy, given annually to the player who best exemplifies leadership qualities on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community. Among his contributions was joining with former teammate Shea Weber to spearhead the 365 Pediatric Cancer Fund, which raises money and awareness for cancer research and has donated more than $3 million since 2012-13. (Oh yeah...he was also my daughters favorite player since we discovered the NHL in 2013!!)
Congratulations Pekka on a stellar career, many amazing memories for all the Predators fans, and the mark you left on the game of hockey but specifically the game of hockey in the southern United States and the state of Tennessee.

Roan Mountain State Park, TN
Camped out this past weekend about 20 yards from this waterfall in Roan Mountain State Park. Started hiking up to Jane Bald on the Appalachian Trail late Friday afternoon, but had to turn back after about 25 minutes because a freak hail storm suddenly rolled over us (crazy weather is common up on Roan Mountain and things can change on a dime at that altitude). Saturday was also a photographic shutout with complete cloud cover all day… had to turn my attention to photographing waterfalls.
Thanks for looking!
Supermoon and lunar eclipse from Martis Valley in Truckee, California. Almost shutout by clouds, but patience paid off...
I went out shooting with Caroline yesterday, the sky was a solid light grey and we were shutout at first, but once we got into the Alliance-Forestburg corridor we struck gold!!
This is one of the last places we went to, the clouds parted a wee bit thankfully. The cows that live in the field that surround this house are constantly try to bust into it, as you can tell by the roughed up exterior and the heavily worn path around it, so far they've failed to pick the locks.....which means NO dead cow in the basement yet :^)

So that's that. Pens lost Game 7 last night to end their season, and although it is a huge disappointment, it still was a great season. We were able to make it into the playoffs as the fourth seed without our two best players, some young players were able to get some valuable NHL experience and all in all, it was fun to watch. We'll get them next year!
This is a shot from last night's game of someone holding their beer up at the end, toasting the Pens on a season well played. I had been trying to get a shot like this for a while, and it took until the end of the last game, as this was taken after the game was over.

125 Pounds - #1 Jonathan Prata (CERR) def. Hector Camarena (SA), 19-2 (technical fall)
Maintaining his undefeated record, freshman Jonathan Prata (Downey HS) got to work quickly against Hector Camarena. After getting a quick takedown, he followed it with a two-point near fall and after a second takedown in the period, added a four-point near fall before the end of the period. A pair of two-point near falls in the second period was followed by a four-pointer, which ended the match at the buzzer to end the second period.

Competing in his first match at 133 pounds this season, freshman Jose Lozano (North Torrance HS) had a solid first period, where the match remained scoreless.

Ranked #3 in the state at 133 pounds, sophomore Andres Gonzales (Capistrano Valley HS) made a good impression in his first match at 141 pounds this season. Taking on #5-ranked Ali Kavez, Gonzales picked up a pair of points with a takedown with :38 seconds left in the first period. Kaveh earned an escape point before the end of the first and added another to start the second period, before Gonzalez produced another takedown with 1:24 left in the second period. Holding on to a 4-3 lead with 2:00 left, Gonzalez added an escape point and riding time to round out his victory.

In one of two matches that went into overtime, sophomore Jarrod Nunez (Mayfair HS) took a 4-0 lead over Danny Serrano in the first period after an aggressive takedown and two-point near fall. But Serrano started his comeback when he reversed Nunez before the end of the first period and added another early in the second period. Needing at least an escape to be in position to tie the match, Nunez received it with :57 seconds left in the third period, with Serrano earning a point due to riding time. The two completed their 1:00 overtime without scoring, as well as each of their :30 second periods where each wrestling tried to escape to earn a point and the win. In the second overtime, Serrano was able to score a takedown with :18 seconds left to pick up the win.
197 Pounds - #4 Hamzah Al-Saudi (CERR) def. Jean Karlos Navas (SA), 19-4 (technical fall)
Riding the momentum of winning the Santa Ana Tournament, #4-ranked Hamzah Al-Saudi (Palisades HS) got stronger and stronger as the match went on against Jean Karlos Navas. Al-Saudi led just 2-1 in the first period, but a pair of takedowns and a last-second four-point near fall put him in front, 10-2 after the first three minutes. Two more takedowns and subsequent near falls earned him a technical fall win with :14 seconds left on the clock in the second period.
285 Pounds - #3 Randy Arriaga (CERR) def. Joseph Nava (SA), 3-2 (OT)
The night was capped off with another overtime match, as #3-ranked Randy Arriaga (Capistrano Valley HS) was the beneficiary of two stall points, which aided him in his win.

Oh man, what a game last night. Double OT thriller between the Pens and the Lightning that the Pens prevailed 3-2 on James Neal's first goal in 21 games and the first playoff goal of this career. This is one that I took of him in warmups earlier this year. You can check out more shots of James Neal and other Penguins on my blog!
