Joey Bahr — Thu, 17 May 2012 04:41:58 +0000

The road to the 4A State Baseball Championships ran through Hoisington for the Colby Eagles and the Nickerson Panthers. Both teams met in the Regional Championship game to decide who would play in the State Tournament.

The Eagles and Panthers started the game scoreless for three innings. Then Nickerson collected three runs in the Fourth. By the end of the game, the score was 4-1 in favor of the Panthers.

Nickerson will now go on to play in the 4A Baseball State Tournament in Salina next week.

Super Moon over Central Kansas

Joey Bahr — Sun, 06 May 2012 05:09:05 +0000

I went out late at night on Saturday, May 5th to see the “Super Moon.”

This is where the Moon is 14% larger than normal due to its orbit. This is the point in the elliptical orbit where the Moon is at its closest point to the Earth.

Unfortunately, there were some very high level clouds that obscured the Moon some, so this is not as sharp as I can get. Plus, my 70-200mm lens can only get so close (which is another reason a 400mm f/2.8L sounds really nice).

Below are some of the pictures I took:

I went to the 2012 Kansas State University Purple and White Game to watch my cousin Kevin Wissman play. It didn’t take me long to go grab my camera and take some pictures from the stands.

It was an interesting game, with the First Team Offense (the Purple Team) racking up 77 points on the day. The White Team only scored on a 95 yard Kick-Off Return. The final scored ended up at 42-42. (They flipped the score at Halftime.)

While out driving K-96 this evening, I noticed a crop duster spraying some wheat fields between Olmitz and Heizer. I grabbed my camera and took some shots of him making some passes.

The plane in the pictures is an Air Tractor AT-602.

Sporting KC improves to 5-0-0 and faces a tough home match with Real Salt Lake on April 14th.
