For Love of the Game

Ann Beatty takes her eye from the camera to yell encouragement to the Foothill soccer team.

Beatty has added documentarian to the traditional role of soccer mom.

Every player will have his own recollections from his high school games - although Foothill players might forget the 2-0 loss to Silverado on Monday.

Beatty, whose son Nick is a sweeper for Foothill, makes sure they end up with something less ethereal than memories.

Beatty and another mom bring their digital cameras and tripods to the games.

We "try to get all the kids throughout the year. Then, at the end of the year banquet, we give them out to the players," Beatty said.

"It's just something fun to do for them. And they really like them. They walk around talking about them and showing them off."
