I also had the opportunity to cover Region 9 football.
Sidelining for High School Football was definitely a lot more fun than
covering the college. The athletes were a lot more fun to interview as well as
the coaches. The student, fan base was quite incredible.
I did learn though that not all coaches keep their word of doing an interview. I did have coaches bail on doing an interview or blow me off right before I went live. which was a great learning experience to either make something up or look like a idiot and go straight to a commercial break.
If I wasn't sideline reporting I was tweeting for 97.7 at the game as well as filming clips on the field to post to the 97.7 Facebook page.

After the the games Andy (the other intern) and I did the wrap up show. I usually told what the coach had to say in the locker room as well as before and after game interviews. I also was in charge of the stats in deciding the Sports Clip Player of the game.
I attended many of the high schools practices to film to make videos for rivalry week and the playoffs. I also did interviews with coaches and players during the practice. I really enjoyed covering High School football. It was a great learning experience.
