Our photojournalists are having fun with this Photo of the Week series for high school football, and they appreciate the interaction with the desert’s sports fans.

Before we look at this most recent batch of photographic gems, let’s take a look back at last week’s winner.

You voted and you chose the Shadow Hills football flipping out after their upset of La Quinta, captured by photographer Jay Calderon.

This week’s winner is up to you. We’ve got a water polo game and a busy football Friday football night to pick from.

Look at our photographers’ favorites from the week and vote for your winner in the poll at the bottom of this article at desertsun.com.

Whichever photo has the most votes at noon on Thursday will be the winner. Here we go.

Heads up! A shot from Palm Desert’s Johnathan Martinez whistles wide and directly into the frame of photographer Andy Abeyta positioned just right to catch this image and not get hit.
