This and that
Quick thoughts while wondering how Tim Tebow gets the most first place votes, but finishes third overall in the Heisman voting.
• I'm slated to cover the EAHS boys basketball game tonight against McCaskey. It's snowing pretty good right now, so I'm not sure if it'll be postponed. If it is, I'll post something here as soon as I find out. If not, look for something tomorrow (maybe tonight if I'm feelin' froggy) on the game.
• I saw the E-town girls basketball team for the first time in person last night against Mount Calvary. The Chargers were overmatched throughout and E-town won easily, so it was really tough to get a handle on how good the Bears can be this year. But I can tell you this, they are relentless. They've already topped last year's win total and we're only four games into the season. Section Two is wide open this season and there's no reason to think E-town can't be in the running. Oh yeah, freshman Sarah Fairbanks is the real deal. Seriously. You can probably pencil her in for 1,000 points in her high school career right now. Heck, write it in ink if you want. Fun group to watch, but I want to see them play a better opponent (no offense to Mount Calvary, please don't take it as such) before I can really get a handle on them.
• I went down to Penn Manor last Thursday to watch the E-town boys come back and beat the Comets in OT. I went as a spectator, which was weird not to have my notepad and pen in hand, but enjoyable at the same time. That was a huge win for E-town in terms of building confidence early in the season. They now know that they can come back and win games on the road. Oh, and Penn Manor has arguably the biggest front court in the league, and E-town (who a lot of people said don't have the size to compete with bigger teams) beat them. Should be a good one tonight (go away snow).
• There was also an exciting wrestling match on Saturday, with E-town hanging on to beat Dallastown by a point. The Bears have some really good underclassmen wrestling on their team, and they are only going to get better as the season progresses.
• OK, that's all I have time for (working on cranking out the print edition right now). In this week's Chronicle, I'll have coverage on the EAHS girls and boys basketball teams, the wrestling teams and a feature on Jeff Polites' resignation. More blog stuff to come this week.
Until then, stay classy Elizabethtown.
