Random Musings
I plan on writing a full blog later on today's coverage of the Monmouth-Roseville @ Macomb baseball game game. Monmouth-Roseville won a marathon, exciting game at Phil Bradley Field, 11-10. Length of game was 2 hours, 41 minutes.
R.I.P. Jack Larson
A radio legend passed away today, my former co-worker, Jack Larson, passed away from cancer today at the age of 87. What is remarkable, is the man worked up until about a month ago. The only thing that kept him away from the microphone was being bed-ridden with the disease in recent weeks. I didn't get to know Jack all too well, but over the past two years, I learned many things from him, just being in his presence and listening. He hosted, "Music with Memories" on 1590 WAIK (Galesburg), and one of my favorite things to hear him say, was when he would jump on his soap box about drivers not turning their headlights on in the rain. He will truly be missed!
Coverage This Week
After yesterday's trip to Abingdon, I have layed out a little bit of a schedule for the rest of the week. Tomorrow (Wednesday), I plan on heading over to United, to watch the Red Storm softball team take on Mercer County. United just opened up their new softball diamond at the high school this past Saturday. It looks like I will be taking a break on Thursday, to meet with my tax man, and on Friday I plan on taking in Metamora @ Galesburg (baseball). Saturday is still up in the air.
Early Planning
Some thoughts have gone through my head about my approach for next basketball season. With my schedule, it is extremely hard to update the scoreboards every night, so I am working on a method, and seeking some assistance on it for next season. Two reasons, number one, to take a big stresser off of me, and two, to make it more complete. In addition, I had a lot of requests for a football scoreboard, and with the statewide schedules released in June/July, I think I can make this happen pretty easily.
Summer Coverage
I hope to take in a few shootouts this summer. It is looking like my summer schedule is much less daunting than a year ago, though things change on a weekly basis it seems.
Conference Shakeups
More conference shakeups could be looming, though these are expected. According to some sources close to the situation, the West Central Conference could be adding new schools soon, for the 2011-12 school year. It appears as if Quincy Notre Dame and Chillicothe IVC will not be voted into this conference, as they were being reported as a possibility to join. Spring Valley Hall is a name that I've heard could very well join the conference as a football-only member in 2011, which would give the league their 10th team.
