2. I know that shots from behind aren't always the greatest but I loved the expression on the opponent's face.

Some of the photos seem like they are OOF and rather soft (any tips on this?). I'm sure this is because I'm shooting with 2.8 and I have to crop them quite a bit with my 28-70. Any help, comments, critique is appreciated. I'm buying a 70-200vr and I'm hoping the sharpness/overall quality of my photos will increase.

All of your horizons are off or they are playing on a sinking ship
Surprised they let you direct flash colege ball must be D111
It appears you are sitting 1st row of bleachers get on the floor if you can
on the baseline --the crowd behind really detracts from these shots
Be patient with your Focus
