Basketball Double Header
I shot a pair of girls basketball semifinals last night, about two hours each to capture, edit, compress and post. Got to bed by 2:30 and then it was up at 6 to make a radio appearance with Rick Koster and Lee Elci at WXLM. So sleepy… Bacon vs. St. Bernard: NFA vs Montville

I didn’t expect much of a game between these two teams with losing records, but since the game involved our two local colleges, cross-the-street rival Conn College and Coast Guard, I wanted to cover it.
