I think this one is good - if you crop the blurred player's parts off the left.

I agree with suemack, think also that a longer depth of field would make this a better photo.

David,

Nice black & white! I think in this case, black & white was a good choice with the high contrast. Those two elements bring out the motion going on in this photograph.

Having said that, there are some obvious areas for improvement that I can see, one of which is that the contrast is so high, almost all of the whites are completely blown out, draining detail from even the runner in who is in focus, and while I think you've done a sufficient job of drawing the eye to the guy with the ball, there is quite a bit going on. Generally, sports shots contain fewer players so that there is no confusion as to what the focal point should be. I do like the composition, but it is a bit confusing.

Nice job, though. I think a little more detail would help the score.

I like the feeling of movement here. If the focus was on the face of the opposing player IMO it would be a great shot!
