Photo of Springfield's Chris Borders

Quincy Granite defensive end Andelson Merisca, middle center, knocks the ball out of the hands of Springfield Blitzin Bears quarterback Chris Borders, front, during their EFL semi-final game in Quincy, Massachusetts.


Photojournalist Remarks

I'd like to say that this picture was the result of timing and anticipation, it wasn't. I was just following the play and shooting the quarterback as he moved with the ball. Suddenly the ball popped out of his hands, courtesy of Quincy's Merisca, and I was fortunate enough to get the shot at a good angel.
