The East Burke Cavaliers steam rolled over Newton-Conover in double overtime crossing the goal line 4 times in OT to defeat the Red Devils 36-35.   The Cavalier defense had many great plays all night to give the offense time to rally with standout running back Robbie McGee having a stellar night carrying the ball.

East Burke High School celebrated their 2011 graduation exercises on Friday night, June 10th.  About 80 minutes before the event was supposed to start, mother nature decided to display her fury with everthing except a snow storm!  The only ones that were safe from the storm were the graduates who were tucked away in a secure building they had endured for 4 years.  With school staff, volunteers

If you didn't make the trip to Brevard on Wednesday night, you missed the game of the season.  Not because the game play was the best the Lady Cavaliers have played all season but because their team hung together through thick and thin throughout the game. When the girls from East Burke put the beat down on Newton-Conover a month or so ago, most people thought that was the game of the season.

It's becoming a normal occasion to see Valdese host the annual CVAC Swimming championships and this year was nothing different.   The Mens and Womens swim teams from Draughn and East Burke converged along with other area schools to make a big impact at the pool.  In the end, the East Burke Men's team beat out the Draughn swimmers by a mear few points while the Draughn lady swimmers took the

Those who know me know that I either bleed Black and Gold, ie: Appalachian State, or Wolfpack red!  But I put that aside for the day recently when I had the chance to take a trip to Chapel Hill to shoot a UNC vs. Clemson football game.  Now, before I go to far I have worked a college game before, but not a Div 1A game.  Totally different than what I was used too on the sidelines at a local High

The Patton Panthers made a big statement on Friday night!  They told their fans that they are ready to battle and don't care who they are playing.  The East Burke Cavaliers, on a rebuilding year with a new coach, found out the hard way that Panther country was serious business. The Cav's never backed down and kept up the intensity even though they found themselves behind from almost the

I witnessed the emergence of a new threat under the net today!  With a visit from the Draughn Lady Wildcats, the Lady Patton Panthers looked to almost hold their own on the court.  In the end, Draughn prevailed but not after taking notice that the Lady Panthers are on the prowl and on the verge of greatness!

The East Burke Cavaliers traveled to Shelby to take on the Kings Mountain Mountaineers in the Cleveland County Jamboree scrimmage.  It was not their best showing but there were a few signs of life in a few plays that could lead to some excitement this season for the Cavs.  The final score for one half of play was 26-6, KM.  East Burke will travel to county rival Patton High next Friday to

Congratulations Graduates! Sometimes being a photographer has its advantages and this week was no exception.  I was witness to two commencement ceremonies at Freedom and East Burke High Schools.  Both were full of pomp and tradition.  The eyes of these young men and women told their stories of their reality that was about to set in.  The elation of walking across the stage was then met back on

The last games of the season against original county rivals East Burke & Freedom has come and gone but the emotional challenges were still as strong as ever.  The intensity from the sidelines, from where I was shooting, was intense.  The varsity girls of both teams played with a lot of heart, even though both teams have been struggling.  The mens game had the back

Who gave them the right to change it?So, lets just jump into it. Who gave the fine folks in Atlanta, GA the right to change the one thing that I trusted other than my kids love? Who told them that something was wrong and how the heck did they come up with this idea?I guess you are wondering what I am talking about, huh? No, I am not talking about Home Depot and their efforts to advertise

Roaming the Cavalier, Shrine Bowl sidelines(First published in the Morganton News-Herald, Dec. 21st, 2008)On the practice field Monday morning, East Burke High School's Tyler Shatley lay on the ground, apparently injured from the previous play. On the sidelines was the familiar face of Tracy Hefner, the athletic trainer also from East Burke. The practice was for this year's Shrine Bowl. Hefner

Where oh where are they hiding?When I fell into the studio photography I never knew this side of working with models! I enjoyed the first session setup by my client and started looking around to work with other talented models. Never did I know that there was a whole other side of men and women out there looking to be photographed.I never knew that people would give up their time to shoot for a

Bye, bye cold, rainy, foggy nights!At least for now I can enjoy working inside for the winter. Yeah, you figure right, the football is officially over for High schools in this area! It's sad but ok too. This year I have experienced weather for one season like no other. It is like mother nature wanted to make sure everyone knew she was in control and did not like "normal" conditions for

What is the big deal with socks?Socks, you know the things that you keep in your top drawer. The things that always seem to lose their partners after taking a bath! The things that start out brisk and soft and end up strong and hard. Yeah, you got it now, Socks!!I have been working with a client now since March on a sock webstore. It has been a task in itself but who knew when I signed on for

What's the point anyway?Today the lonely life of a high school teacher was in full play. We offered a full day for parents and teachers to get together and talk about how their children are such angels or lack there of. The only thing missing was the parents! I felt like the Maytag repair man today. Out of all the students that I teach, I only saw 3 parents the WHOLE day! And to top it off,

The Fish are Back! well, almost!I am a true Miami Dolphins fan! I have been following them as long as I can remember. And that is not lie. I have a pennant from their undefeated 1971 season that says "World Champions" on it. I know that I should not toot the horn to hard or fast as they only won 1 game last year, but I still pulled for them! It sure was great to turn on the NFL pregame

Have you ever. . .Had those times in your life where you just thought you would never get caught up? I am there right now. Every time I think I am getting close, more projects pop up. Today for example was supposed to be my catch up day but turned out entirely different.Last night, we had the final Fat Friday game (county rival) at the school where I teach. After the game, I stayed behind to

Happy Appy!Let me just say, that being a full access photographer is pretty cool. I was able to attend the recent Appalachian State vs. Wofford game in Boone on Halloween night. Not only attending but with a field photographers pass! I have been wanting to attend a game as I have not been in recent years, but to go and actually stand side by side with some local and national media was

Stephanie took her first big steps today and she kept going for 10 - 12 steps at a time. She is growing up so fast. It is just a matter of time before she is all over the house!

Gotcha Originally uploaded by Eagle Shooter Have you been to a volleyball match lately? If not, you may have missed something. The rules have changed. Now, they don't just play to 15 in a game, they play to 25 and every point counts. They tried to make the matches move along, well now they move a little too fast. If you have to pay, I don't have to, you pay 4 or 5 dollars to sit and

Oops! Originally uploaded by Eagle Shooter Looking at the photo shown, you would think I was pulling for the defense in this shot. Well, I work at the offensive school. Still don't know? I was pulling for neither. I was pulling for the best shot possible and I got it. The ball came out and there was a scramble involved to regain the ball but all in all the EB offense got the ball

How a new camera can change your outlook on things.So one day not too long ago, I got this new camera. I takes great digital pictures. Well, that is the short of it. To take it more seriously, the Nikon D50 Digital SLR camera that I bought. so far, I have used it only a few times but I am getting the hang of it. The auto feature on this camera is great for the first timer but for the avid

What I did at NASCAR Camp. Well, lets make one thing straight, this was not camp. I spent the week at NCCAT (N.C. Center for the Advancement of Teaching). This just happened to be a renewal seminar called: NASCAR - Science on the Race Track. I had been wanting to go to NCCAT for many years. A friend of mine, Mary Jo Johnson from the NC School for the Deaf had suggested that I go about twelve

Swimming 101 So, what does a 38 year old male do these days to make himself proud? He starts swimming at the gym everyday and works up to swimming a half a mile at a time. I figure that I have logged about 6 miles as of today with all but 2 of the most recent sessions of a 1/4 mile or less. Today I finished my second half mile this week and am feeling pretty good as we speak. I grew up on the

Only 8 More Days Only 8 more days before no more students for a couple of weeks. Do not get me wrong, I love teaching but this has been a long semester and it seems to be dragging its feet to the bitter end. On a high note, Chris is getting excited over Christmas this year. If anyone ever asks what age kids start understanding Santa, it is 3 years old. He sees "Santa" everywhere we go. We have

Thanksgiving Week 2004It has been a great week. We have spent the better part of the week with family and if you count the last two weeks, we have really had some terrific family times. Two weeks ago we went with my Mom and Dad and moms sisters to see the Biltmore House and Grove Park Inn. We had to take the day off from work but it was well worth it. Take a look at the slide show and see what we

So. . . Where have you been? I always know where I am but apparently, you forgot about me. There has been so much going on that this blogging thing has completely slipped my mind. But now I am back and let see if we can catch up in a few. First and foremost, Christopher is growing up fast and is turning into a jokster. He talks a mile a minute and can move about the house before you know he was

It's been a few weeks! So much has been going on that I have not had much time to write. I hope you have not missed me. We have been trying to get the house completed from remodeling that was started 5 years ago. So far, we have things going in the right direction. The stair case is well on its way to becoming complete. More on that in a minute. The hallway is almost complete with laundry room

Have you ever had a conversation with a 2 year old before? I have, and it is pretty interesting. Yesterday, Christopher, my son, and I had our first back and forth conversation. That is to say that in the past he has asked a question and then I responded. Yesterday, he asked, I answered then he had a follow up question. It was so cool! You never really know what they are saying or

Guess where I was on Saturday, Jan. 3rd at about 9 o'clock or so? Do you give up yet? I had the honor of traveling with our award winning Marching Band from East Burke High. They got a personal invitation, sight unseen, as far as their field show, to perform at a Carolina Panthers NFL Football game as they hosted a Playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys!!! Words can not describe what I

Memories Are Great! You never know how people are now that you knew many years ago. Most people grow up but then others mellow out. On the other hand, some just stay the same. I feel that I have change alot but others I could pick out of a crowd as they have never changed.

Have you ever had Pink Eye before? My son Chris has now for the fourth time. It is that kind of thing that bugs you more than hurts. Yes, it itches but the things you have to do while you have it will drive you crazy!!! You have to clean everything! Put drops or ointment in his eyes every few hours. And hope for the best, and oh yeah, you have to make sure you don't get it too. Careful,
