Create-a-Caption: hustle plays

This week’s Create-a-Caption photo comes from Wayland Union’s narrow victory over Caledonia in the district quarterfinals matchup.  It depicts an athletic-looking Chase Burgess making a heck of a play, and alludes to a good amount of future pain.  But hey, Wayland players are tough.  That’s why they’re undefeated.

Get to captionizing, folks!  Funniest, cleverest and generally [...]

Create-a-Caption: start ‘em practicing young

This week’s Create-a-Caption picture is from Rockford’s convincing victory over Grand Haven.  Well, sort of.  The picture was taken during the game, but the impact that the events depicted in the picture actually had on the game itself is certainly debatable. I mean, they might have, if that mini-football errantly found its way onto the [...]

Create-a-Caption: a new helicopter move?

This week’s pic is from Rockford’s win over Hudsonville last Friday.  They did it with defense, and I think that this week’s pic demonstrates the extent of that defense.  Well, it might, anyway.  Actually, it might also be some kind of new helicopter move that I haven’t seen before (I’ve been slacking on my And-1 [...]

Create-a-Caption: there’s a disconnect here somewhere

Last week’s winner: slowride.  Caption: Helium, in the ball????????

Congrats, slowride!  Well played with the wonky shot picture.

This week’s pic is kind of odd.  It’s a basketball action pic, which would be normal, except it seems like a couple guys got abducted by aliens or something.  M. Night Shyamalan style. Anyway, once again, best caption for [...]

Create-a-Caption: the shot to somewhere or other

Last week’s winner: mememememe.  Caption: I think we missed the turn for the luge run.

Congrats, mememememe (for the second time)!  Nice work, and way to demonstrate your longevity/versatility.

This week we have a relatively hard one, from Grand Rapids Union’s victory over Reeths-Puffer.  It’s either a shot, or a volleyball set, or maybe it’s something cool [...]

Create-a-Caption: Battle for the rebound

Last week’s winner: mememememe.  Caption: Headband . . . $1.00 . . . Black Socks . . . $3.00 . . . Levitation Shoes . . . Priceless!!

Congratulations, mememememe!  Big hugs all around.

Rebounding is an art, they say.  They also say it’s all heart.  Either way, this week’s photo from the Grand Haven/Rockford girls [...]

Create-a-Caption: Jaylin Staten blocks a shot

Every once in a while you get one of those photos that’s just begging to have a clever caption attached to it.  This photo of Grand Rapids Christian junior guard Jaylin Staten jumping way too high is one of them.  The kid has springs like you wouldn’t believe, and is one of the few 5-foot-9 [...]
