Another Saturday, another Friday Night Football update.
At the beginning of the year, this was the game that was circled as the most significant. I originally had it as our second toughest game, but some things have changed and, although it is still a big game, I now think we have another in front of it...a few weeks down the road.
We struggled in the Red Zone, last night...getting there and coming up empty with our first four possessions...but we brought it together and came away with a 14-6 win.
The senior starter was back, this week, but my youngest got the start, in front of him. I don't know if they are just trying to ease the senior back in...but he did play the entire game on defense, so not sure.
I got to call the game and had a blast...first varsity call, this year. The booth was really crowded...me, my two spotters, the regular video guy, the regular clock guy, the 25 second clock guy, the sound guy, two internet video guys, three guys with the internet broadcast, a reporter, two coaches and some guy that I think was just annoying people...not really sure what his purpose was. We are also situated between two suites, and a food buffet, right behind us. Gets a bit hard to concentrate, with all that noise. They have to house the radio guys in the visitor's booth, across the field.
By contrast, there are usually 4 of us during JV and Middle School games.
Well, we have a JV game on Monday, and a Varsity bye week, next Friday.
Have a good weekend.
