Broadcasting

Wats up?

Let me start off today by saying I have been really excited the last couple of days. This past Friday, the Effingham Flaming Hearts faced the Charleston Trojans in the Mattoon Class 3A Regional. I work at 95.7 WCRC and we cover Hearts Basketball. When we do the games it is usually Chad Baker and I doing the games. This past Friday night, Chad could not do the game and I had the opportunity to do play by play of the game. My future goal in my life is to become a Sports broadcaster for a major sports team. I was so excited that I had this chance to cover the Hearts Regional Championship game. I was so excited because doing a play by play of a game is fun, but doing a regional championship game is what I was looking forward to doing.

I ended up calling an exciting regional championship game. The Hearts were down by ten in the third quarter and started making there comeback in the fourth. The Hearts made their comeback led by Cody McCollum with 16 points. They were down by two with five seconds left to go and they had to come down the court and make a shot and they did. It was so exciting calling this game because as a broadcaster you always want a fun and close game. The game went into overtime and the Trojans had a 1 point leading with seconds left to go and the Hearts came down the court again and this time they did not have the luck with them as they lost the championship by one point. That was one of the best and closest games I have ever done.

That is going to do it for today's Ritzbitz blog. Next time I am going to talk about my documentary I am doing in my Advanced Video Production class. Until next time be kind and rewind.
