Halloween aftermath and more...

I promised a video of the Chilhowie vs George Wythe game that was played on Halloween night and I WILL get it up as soon as possible.. which may be another week.




Here is the scenario:




1) The batteries in my camera died a little before midway through the third quarter. So, for those of you who were at the game and know, I perhaps missed the most interesting parts of the entire night. The score was 10-7 when the camera deceased. The batteries were brand-new that I had bought from a gas station in Chilhowie just moments before. Who do I blame?

My performance was not guaranteed
and I did not get my money back.

2) My computer also took a turn for the worse this week. And with that turn, my movie making software (it's not fancy, it came standard) is gone. So now I'm relying on my 2001 Dell Desktop computer which puffs smoke when I turn it on. Needless to say, updating the website over the past week has been interesting, but beyond that, I cannot make a compressed video for the Chilhowie vs George Wythe clips that I have until Compaq returns my computer. Who do I blame?

So what to look out for in coming weeks on HogoOnline? Well, more videos. For those of you who frequent the message board, you have likely noticed an announcement seeking individuals to assist in taking some video clips of the playoff games in your area because I can't. Once you start something and keep it consistent throughout the season, it is only appropriate that it is continuued through the playoffs and unfortuantely I have other things I have to do next Friday. Please help out if you can and refer to the message board for more information.

I am also creating PDF Programs for each of the playoff games involving a Hogo Team. Feel free to download these, print them, and tote them to the game for free. They will include rosters, schedules, and other statistical information from competing schools. Enjoy my spare time and hard work.

For the Hogo schools that did not quite make the playoffs this football season, HogoOnline urges you to get out and support your fellow district teams. The further they go, the better we all look.

Good luck to all! Dorothy will hit the scene Sunday afternoon with some playoff hype, be ready.
