The school year is in the books, the Creatures says thanks and be ready for bigger and better things

Jun 15th, 2009 by Hector Longo

OK, year number one of the Creature, the 2008-09 school sports year, is now in the books.
And what a year it was.
We took some bumps along the way, remember the wars with MKA and Kodiaksrevenge/tom tuttle.
I’ve tried to make this blog interesting, bordering on must-read stuff and don’t plan on changing that strategy now.
In the future, I promise more: video and audio and some interactive events.
I have too many memories of this year to list, usually Mike Muldoon handles that in an Eagle-Tribune column.
For me, it’s all about the emotions of the game, the athletes and there was plenty.
I burned with anger at times, and felt the pain at others. I rejoiced and stood in disbelief. It was an awesome year, and next year will be better.
This summer we’ll dabble in golf, both on the course and here on the blog, hopefully that will keep you folks coming back for more through the down times.
Also, I’ll be here again on the sports news front, coaches coming and going, athletes committing.
The Carson Desrosiers action has to be heating up.
I’ll be out in Vegas with him, the Mass Rivals and the Granite State Jayhawks late in July as the top coaches in their country make their pitches.
There’s legion baseball and summer sports. And reporting date for football teams in NH is less than two months away.
Watch the blog for updates and more.
Most of all, I’m looking to bring out the issues you, my loyal readers, are into. Call me on my take, most of the time I love it as long as it’s aboveboard and interesting.
Again, thank you all for a great year.

    Great to see some AAU info.

    I am glad someone is covering high school sports with some vigor around here. There are a lot of good athletes and good stories to follow. So often the recruiting services focus on well known areas and those kids get all the hype. I'd love to see some love thrown this way and hopefully your blog is able to get the word out about a lot of the athletes in this area. Keep it up!

    I've said it before, but this is the best regional high school sports blog in New England. Papers in Hartford and Bridgeport, CT try, but this product is much better. RI does a poor job, as does NH. The Herald is more state-wide. Keep up the great work, Hector.

    Geez kid I must have struck a nerve to be included in the year end wrap up...I gotta say you do a good job promoting HS athletics, just stop Hatin' on my Middies. Sorry if I got carried away at times just get protective of my Middies. Good Luck to You and Yours and look forward to reading the blog next year. DHS 2008 Super Bowl Champs!!

    Cool. Good enough. And let me say when you call me and I'm wrong, I absolutely welcome the criticism.
    Love your passion, even part of the time when it's tossed my way.
