When an Ada-Bluffton event appears on the calendar it’s a given for the Icon photographer to show up.

Friday night’s boys’ basketball game between the Bulldogs and Pirates was a win-win for the Icon simply because the photographer could shoot anything that moves since there’s also a Bluffton Icon.

The problem on Friday was that the photographer forgot there was a basketball game. He decided the activities in the stands and on the sideline were pretty interesting. So, here are some of the 60 or so photos taken.
