During the week of July 5-9, 2011, Cary and I were privileged to attend "The Opening", watching quarterback grandson Tyler Matthews (#43 the first day, and #15 on game days) play with 150 of the best high school football players in the United States. The event was held at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon. I hope that you enjoy the pictures ... some are better photos than others, but I tried to capture as many kids as I could.
There are approximately 500 photos in these slide shows. They are of the players, the fans, our family and everybody/everything that caught my eye. They are in chronological order. No names are on the pictures, even if I do know who people were.
As time permits, I will also be writing blog posts about my experience as a spectator. Since I still have a lot to learn about football and this is not a sports blog, I'll write some human interest stories as seen through my eyes. That said, Tyler Matthews, YOU ROCK!!!!

Gorgeous photos, Kathy! I see why you like Eugene in the spring. So green and so many pretty things blooming.
I grew up in the north Willamette Valley, and while I love living here in the suburbs of Seattle, I do get nostalgic for "the valley". It is so beautiful in the spring.
My high school reunion will have me returning in late June - strawberry time!
Are you a photographer or do you just have a good eye? These are just beautiful. The purple flowers by the hydrant -- what a fun juxtaposition of things competing for my attention. Now I LOVE Eugene in the spring!
