I spent most of the past fall working nearly full-time on high school football. We broadcast three live games in the fall, and along with them we published several dozen video features on the players and coaches.

Zach Hurd at UConn’s Pro Day
I spent Wednesday afternoon at UConn’s football complex for their Pro Day. I can’t imagine the pressure these guys must be under, having one or two chances to perform a physical task that is being recorded by representatives from NFL teams.

The thing I love most about shooting football at local high schools and colleges is that you never know where the story is going to come from. Last week at New London High School, the game had reached the fourth quarter, and I was struggling to put together a storyline in my head. The first […]

Looking for a good reason to save your tapes as an archive? Assistant sports editor Mike DiMauro and I went back through all of our high school football videos this year to assemble a collection of top plays. Our original intention was to out together a top 10, but in order to try to be […]
