I know diablo...it seems like the Whiteville broadcast has lost either the satellite feed or something has been lost because i listened to the game up and until the half when the score was 24-21 in favor of Whiteville with Geraldo Maggioli kicking a 24 yard FG with 5 seconds left on the clock before the half...still hoping the feed comes back before the end of the game.
Guess it was a sign of things to come in the 2nd half. Had a brief power outage just as half ended that knocked pressbox out momentarily. 30 seconds later our Shoutcast stream provider's server (somewhere in Timbucktoo, USA) went down and was not fixed until after the game. Unfortunately since this was a first time for this to occur not a back up plan so nothing we could do. (Promise I'll have something in place for the "next" time. Thanks for the kind words though. Follow a team all year and there is bias. We do try to give credit when deserved and not blame everything on bad luck, officiating, etc.
I have not been involved in the "discussion" on this thread about the perception of the 2 teams. I don't believe your region determines your speed or toughness. Swain reminded me of the good South Columbus teams the way they got off the football and the quick hitting plays were something the Wolfpack have not seen as the veer is not the offense of choice by the teams on our schedule. Impossible to simulate in practice and when well executed by Swain hard to adjust to on the fly. Video did not do the defensive quickness of Swain justice..
Proud of season the Wolfpack had and the effort they put forth. Not using it as an excuse because turnovers are part of the game but the lost fumble on Pack first possession of 2nd half was a big momentum swing. But they had other possessions and did not take advantage Congratulations to Swain and enjoyed meeting the Maroon Devil folks in the press box. Maybe we can play a non-conference game in August when the press box temp exceeds 100 degrees.
Mark and will now move over to 89.9 radio and wzco.org, but still on the Columbus Cup page and on our CCSN app for basketball and a lot of baseball this spring as we cover all of Columbus County schools in those sports.
