Game 83: Macomb @ Galesburg (Boy's Basketball)
Game 83
Macomb @ Galesburg (Boy's Basketball)
(1/8/11)
The plan was to sneak out to Memorial Gym and take in part of the Monmouth College/Knox College basketball game. It was about 4:30 when I left GHS, and headed over to Knox. There wasn't a parking space within 2 blocks. I figured by the time I found a parking spot, walked inside and sat down, it would be about time to turn around and head back out to the high school to prepare for the night broadcast.

Queen of Peace @ Galesburg (Girl's Basketball)
(1/8/11)
My internal alarm clock rang just before 7:00 a.m. even though I stayed up working on things until after 1:00 a.m. Oh well, this allowed me extra preparation for the doubleheader of Galesburg games at John Thiel Gymnasium. Honestly, I am glad this week is over, I feel like a slacker. Only 6 broadcasts, by far a season low this year. It ramps up next week with a couple of tripleheaders on Monday and Wednesday in Williamsfield, and going to try and squeeze 5 broadcasts in at the King Tournament next Saturday in Galesburg.

Game 81: Monmouth-Roseville @ Macomb (Boy's Basketball)
Game 81
Monmouth-Roseville @ Macomb (Boy's Basketball)
1/7/11
It's hard to fathom that I am broadcasting a game between the Bombers and the Titans, and I have seen the teams a combined....ONE time....all season! I broadcasted Macomb Bombers basketball on K100 for three seasons, and covered the Monmouth-Roseville Titans for two seasons. Every game, for each team in those years.

The mode of transportation to Wharton Field House was a little different....it was my Explorer. After 16 days of being without the old clunker, it returned from two trips to the shop. The first trip was blogged about before my trips that took me all over the map of Illinois around Christmas.

Game 79
Princeville @ Stark County (Girl's Basketball)
1/5/11
It's been nearly two years to the day that I broadcasted my first game online with IHSSN. That first game came on January 15th, 2008 in Wyoming. It was for a girl's basketball game between host Stark County and visiting (Biggsville) West Central.

Game 78: Quincy Notre Dame @ PORTA (Girl's Basketball)
Game 78
Quincy Notre Dame @ PORTA (Girl's Basketball)
1/3/11
On paper, this Class 2A girl's basketball matchup looked like it could be a good one. At the conclusion of the contest, it was clear to see how good Quincy Notre Dame actually is.
In fact, I knew how good they would be, sort of. This was a team that lost their starting point guard Leigh McLaughlin (really, the engine of last year's Class 2A runner-up squad), along with Claire Obert, and All-Stater Karlee Gengenbacher (24 points/game).
