Give Me A Break
Dec. 27, 2007 @ 5:05 p.m. by Jeff LutzThis iPod thing is pretty addictive. I started putting songs in it on Friday and I’m already over 1,000 with plenty of my CDs still to be put in. All my CDs are burned, so I have to name all the tracks and artists. It’s pretty time-consuming, but a lot of fun. I’ve added a lot of songs that weren’t on my CDs, too.
Between that and not having celebrated Christmas yet, I admittedly haven’t been thinking a lot about high school sports. My sister and her husband were out of town on Christmas, with his family, so my family pushed Christmas back until Saturday, when nobody has to work. Sitting here on Dec. 27 with tons of Christmas presents still under the tree is an odd feeling. But, to be honest, it actually feels like the day before the day before Christmas. Or Christmas Eve-Eve, if you will.
 I’ll be ready to get back to the grind next week, though. City League hoops gets going again, and Hoopfest is next week. That has always been one of my favorite events, and will be exciting this year because of the boys game between Southeast and East. I don’t imagine any team beating the Buffaloes this season, but the Aces definitely have the talent to do it.
I’m going to try to implement some new features in this blog after the break, to get more regular visitors and make it a little more newsy, as opposed to just some guy giving his thoughts on the Kansas high school sports landscape. The only one I’ve thought of so far is a “Game of the Week” feature, which I’ll use for the rest of the basketball season. I’ll pick an important game from the area and break it down, providing keys to the game and comments from both coaches. This is something I’m definitely looking forward to doing.
As far as other features go, I’ll have to brainstorm some more. You readers are more than welcome to offer ideas, and maybe I’ll pick one of those. That’s all for now. I’ve got to get back to shaking presents.

I dont know about videos on this site but a “Plays of the Week” Feature would be great, like 5-10 plays each week from the Tuesday and friday games would be great for bringing in more “regulars” i also think you could write a section about a player that is like a Jorden Cyphers but doesnt get the press cause of the school or other stars on the team, maybe a call it “The Peoples Champ” focus on a great player that everyone loves but no one really hears about. You could also just do about a 3:30 video of highlights, just put it together with some good music and ppost a new one about every 2 weeks or so. no countdown just like a compolation of most of the games.
