Olympus EVOLT E-500: Good For Sports Shots?

[ButlerFootball]

I am a novice photographer who will be taking high school football pictures fromthe sidelines this fall, for my website. I am being rather budget conscious, and have found a camera and two good lenses for under $800. It is the two lenase kit for the Olympus EVOLT E-500 Digital Camera.

My question is this: Will this camera do what I want? I am looking for shots like these:

No idea, but I'm pretty sure that the olympus 2x crop factor would be handy. Plus Olympus lens're smaller to carry around.

2 of those pics are of night games, when the light is not optimal. You will need a light sensitive lens and high ISO settings, and the Oly is not the best in high ISO performance. So expect more noise than with a Canon or a Nikon D50.
