This was taken during a Junior Varsity game between two local high schools. The defense swarmed around the quarterback to bring him down. I used a 1.4x extender also. It was taken in the evening on a partly cloudy day.

Excellent angle of view and stop motion. I could certainly see this on the front page of the sports section.

Nice tight crop, could use some more contrast, but you have done well under minimal. Would prefer to see the ball, and crowd

Great action shot, looks like someone is going to be squished.

Very nice sports action capture that would grace any sports section of a paper. Superb given its minimal editing

good focus, exposure and wb.
composition could be better if a bit tighter at the bottom and the coach was not in the back.
