Alright folks, let’s dive into today’s record keeping. Thunderridge High football updates needed tracking, simple as that. Grabbed my old blue notebook first thing, the one that’s seen a few seasons. Needed something solid, you know? Phone notes get messy.
Opened up the Thunderridge team page around 5 PM yesterday, just before practice notes were due. Still blank! That’s what I get for waiting. Kicked myself a little. Should’ve checked earlier. Started refreshing like crazy while digging for contacts. Found Coach Harrison’s email buried in last season’s records.
Tracking Down the Info
- Shot an email to the coach. Kept it short: “Hey Coach, need stats from Friday’s game for the update. Please!” Hit send. Just had to wait then, felt stuck.
- Checked the local sports blotter online. All rumors and “insider reports,” nothing solid. Useless. Felt frustrated.
- Scrolled through my contacts again, found Debbie. Her kid plays linebacker. Sent her a text: “Debbie, do you have the final score??”
An hour crawled by. Nothing. Started pacing my kitchen. Almost gave up and typed “Scores pending.” Hated that idea. Weak sauce.
Finally! My phone buzzed. Debbie texted back: “OMG SO INTENSE! Won 24-21 vs Ridgefield! Johnson scored the game-winner with 10 seconds left!!” Felt the relief wash over me. Grabbed my blue notebook.
Putting It Together
Jotted down the key points quick, messy handwriting. Debbie spilled more details in another text: “Bryant out with ankle, Sanchez threw 2 TDs, defense held ’em on the 4th.” Scribbled it all down. Coach Harrison emailed back too – late, but confirmed: “24-21 W. Next practice Mon 4pm.”
Cross-referenced Debbie and the coach. Good enough. Took that messy notebook page and started typing.
Opened my team update page. Deleted the empty space where the score was missing. Started hammering it out:
- Wrote: “Thunderridge pulls off a LAST-SECOND WIN! Final: 24-21 over Ridgefield Hawks.” Made sure to shout out the drama first.
- Threw in the specifics: “QB Sanchez connected for 2 TD passes. Huge defensive stand sealed it. Johnson rushed for the game-winner.”
- Added the injury note: “Tough news: starting RB Bryant out (ankle sprain).” Gotta report the bad too.
- Finished with: “Next up: Practice Monday @ 4pm sharp. GO TITANS!”
Hit publish. Felt the satisfaction click in. Not fancy, just a notebook, texts, emails, and typing it all out step-by-step. Done. Another season update in the books.
