• ARMY LAX PHOTOS
  (2006) Don't forget that there are literally thousands of Army Lax photos at Photos. There is a link to ESQ Photography, a commercial photographer who attended the Air Force and Navy games this year and the Cornell and Bucknell games in 2005. Another link is to multiple albums from Laxphotos.com that include over a thousand shots from 2005 ... there are albums for both Navy games and the PL semifinal against Bucknell. I think the Laxphotos.com photographers caught anyone who got on the field at least once. There are also albums of Coach Emmer's Hall of Fame Induction and prior year Army-Navy and NCAA Tournament games. I am also trying to find time to post hundreds of shots taken by Scott Reppard this season.
