As much as I struggle with poor light in high school gyms, sometimes there is a ray of hope.

The first high school sport of the 2011-2012 school year is volleyball and is only played by girls in Texas.
Gyms are tough to shoot in, though Boerne-Champion is better than most, particularly this time of year with a bit of daylight coming in the large upper windows. It does make white balancing tough with multiple light sources, but this can be fine-tuned during post-processing of the client's order. You can see the selects from the Boerne-Champion vs San Antonio Edison varsity and JV games at Ralph Mawyer Photography.
Just a reminder but you can also find my website at BoerneSportsPhotos.com and beginning with this set of games you will be able to see select photos of all the games I shoot on SA Sports.com, the hub for San Antonio area high school sports scores and stories.
