The Miners and Commodores meet again.
It has been a few years since their last meeting, which was for the title in 2007. I’m sure it’s a game that has stuck in Coach Spencer and the PC fans crawl as Linton cruised to a 35-0 lead through 3 quarters to win 35-14. The Miners recovered a fumble on the opening kickoff, then blocked a punt to jump up 14-0 early in that game. A game that saw Bo Gibson chew up 187 rush yards in his last high school game, but also had Ethan Brewer and Mickey Tosti break 100 each for the Miners as well. That all seems so long ago and the first of Linton’s 3 year run as sectional 40 champions. The faces come and go, the numbers change, but the uniforms and helmets are the same. The reputations unchanged, the winning ways a staple for each school, as well as the community support they each revel in.
This is going to be our first streaming away game. We’re still in the ‘testing’ phase, so please excuse any issues that might arise. Also, cross your fingers that we’ll get a good Internet connection!
Update 10/23/2010: Great job Miners! We had a few problems, being out first away game, but everything finally came together and we got it working! Thanks to everyone who watched!
Edit 10/18/2010: I think we did rather well for our first time. Be on the lookout for more in the future, and the recorded video from this game. Thanks to everyone who watched or listened!
