OH MAN!!! You started us off with a couple of women shots and then snuck in a men's shot! I saw the arm pit hair and hairy legs and yacked up Christmas dinner! Nice action shots-good timing. Also, the WBseems to be spot on! A couple of them see a little soft, ie...1, 2, and 4. The subjects are soft and the players in the background seem to be sharper. I see you shot at 28mm on a couple, that must mean you did some cropping-which will reduce the overall "sharpness" of the shot and accentuate the noise-despite using NR in PP. This is a tough gig , so dont get discouraged, esp at the HS level. One last tip, if I may...Start shooting in manual if you arent already. It'll be tough at first but just use your histogram as a guide. You want most of the info to the right of the histogram without any spikes on either end. Good luck!
