Post-game: Thunder-Wildcats

Great effort today, Thunder! I encouraged you guys to give it up and dive for loose balls, but you went way beyond the call. There's something special going on when teammates are willing to do whatever it takes for their team to succeed. It's more than words. It's just inspiring beyond anything.

The space in my iMovie is maxed out, so I'm in the process of moving a lot of raw footage of high school football games to my external hard drive and it's taking for-ehh-verrrr. I tried using QuickTime and that was almost instantaneous ... but the problem there is that the "Alias" footage goes "poof!" when I delete (move to trash) the original uploaded video. So there's no way around it. To preserve all the footage in High Definition, it takes time.

One game that I'm saving to the external hard drive (2 hours, 9 minutes) is taking 13 hours. Once that's cleared out, I'll be able to upload today's game with the Wildcats (Holy Family). It'll be fun to watch, especially the tough defense and fastbreaks. It was fun to watch live, but probably a little more fun to play the game that way, I'm guessing.

Good work, guys. Hopefully, we can get everyone to practice this week and continue to work on our skills and our chemistry as a team. That will result in a lot of fun.

I love this game.
