Oops!  My apologies to Red.
I just had to publish it.  The image is so strong compositionally, and they don't form themselves this well all the time.

This one had to be included.  I was following the action, in burst mode (around 10 frames per second) and caught this shot of the ball girl, as she was about to be taken down.

It can get tough out there.

From the New Brunswick versus National Indigenous game, July 2023.  Notice the New Brunswick coat-of-arms on her left arm.

If the perspective seems out-of-whack, it is because the receiver, #1, is actually very tiny; much shorter than the other two players.

Saskatchewan quarterback being taken down by Ontario Red.  Her face looks a little soft because she has a plastic visor.  Notice the bruise on her arm.

I was intrigued by the tiny size of Ontario Red player #1.  Obviously she doesn't play defense.  It was a little hard to get a straightforward mugshot during the immediate post--game shenanigans.
