The NFL has nothing on some of the high school teams here in Southern California. On a recent Friday night the game I covered took three hours, and that was with 12 minute quarters and no commercial timeouts. How did that happen? Lots of scoring and lots of incomplete passes to stop the clock. This all added up to to some serious issues making deadline, but I got a story in the Register none-the-less. Enjoy.

Back To My Roots
I'm still looking for a full-time position, but in the interim I have picked up some freelance work with the Orange County Register, covering high school football. It reminds me of Fridays in Luray, when I would work until 4 or 5 p.m., grab something to eat and then meet up with John Natalie wherever it was that we were doing a game. I had to be a double-threat, radio sideline reporting while keeping play-by-play for my stories in the Page News and Courier. Sometimes I had to be a triple-threat, also filing a story for the Potomac News or Manassas Journal-Messenger on deadline that Friday. Anyway, I thought blog readers might like an easy link to this past Friday night's story.
