And So It Begins

Three games in one night, down to 97 games left to broadcast in the quest. I will write a blog entry for each game covered in the quest for 100. As I set up the first game, here are some notes about the Macomb Lady Bomber Classic 2009. Brand new scoreboards in the Washington Street Gym. Very, very nice! For those of you unfamiliar with Macomb, the Washington St. Gym is located in the old Macomb High School building, which also houses Spoon River College-Macomb campus now. The programs for the tournament were literally hot off the presses, being delivered less than a half hour before the first game's tipoff. Fortunately, I had time to make chicken scratchings of the Rockridge roster, since they failed to make the cut in the program, and I had also not received one from the school, but all went well. Great to see many familiar faces around the gym, including MHS Athletic Director Dave Bartlett, girl's coach Jeff Thorman, former Macomb JV coach Jim Scott, among several others. Now, on to the games!!!
