You gotta love the all-out effort put into this play by two infielders for Smithson Valley High in Spring Branch, Texas!
Taken in February during the Ranger Round Robin tournament hosted by Smithson Valley High School, shortstop Lauren “Gonzo” Gonzales fearlessly lays out to make the dramatic catch in a game against Eagle Pass High. The infielder will be attending Odessa College this year.
The catch was important as the Rangers won 4-2, but you get the feeling that if Gonzo Gonzales wouldn’t have been able to pull in the out, second baseman Savannah Coonts, an incoming senior, would have pulled it in as well!
Thanks to photographer Holly Anthony for the photo; if you have a great shot and would like to submit for Photo of the Week consideration, email to [email protected] and give as much detail about the pic as possible: who’s in it, where was it taken, was the going on in the shot, etc.!
