Changes are happening all over the web with high school sports websites. JJHuddle.com is charging a dollar a month for the privileges to read and post on their website. Crosscountyconference.com shut down their forum today, which I've had a part of for the last several years. Part of my reason to start this blog is to let you know what will happen with cccbasketball.com with the 150 to 600 users that may visit my website each day and to find ways to communicate with you.
For one, I am not doing a full blown preview this year for the CCC. Time, effort and energy are at a premium for me this fall as hoop season nears.
Two, I have twins that are going to be 10 this January and they are both playing rec. basketball. Dad is helping with BOTH teams. Coaching the boy for the second year in a row and helping out at prat ices with girls. With practice at least two or three nights during the week and games on Saturdays and Sunday afternoons; covering a game each Friday in the CCC is limiting the time OleTVFan has for other items that take priority with the family and my own peace of mind...
One thing that I will continue to do for this website and the ccc site is keeping schedules and standings updated (Yes, I know the schedules aren't on the websites yet...). Once the season develops, I will cover a few games when the race for the top begins to develop on the boys side. If I get a jump on the PPG stats page, I'll try to keep that going for upcoming season... but no guarantees on that one... You'd be surprise that lack of hits on that part of the website. If it something you like, you better send me an email for encouragement. One thing I am going to do is become... OleTVFan as in Tri-Village. I'm actually going to be on cable this season for the Tri-Village / Greenville game as I get to do some color with Alex Warner on the local station with Time Warner. It should be a hoot. Yeah, I know... I should remain hidden behind the website and not show my face on TV...
I think you will like the changes coming to crosscountyconference.com. Ben Robinson can do a hell of a website and the pictures Ben and Dale Barger can put together will make it a daily read after the weekend games. They'll be taking pictures of all the schools in the CCC and not just the Buccs and the Pats so be sure to check in with them often. There are opportunities for your school to get in on the action with that website. I think there will be an interest for booster clubs and the administration of each school to get involved, so take advantage of their expertise.
As my time with crosscountyconference.com has come to a close as a adminstrator, rest assured that CCCBasketball.com will continue to be here. It will serve as a historic reference as well as keep you up to date with scores and standings. It won't have the articles as in years past, but keep in mind that my kids will be graduating here in a few years. I am and will always be a CCC guy at heart so I'll keep my finger in the mix during each basketball season and you can guarantee, "I'll be back." I'll just be in limbo in the SWBL for a few years...
See you on the hard court and good luck to all the CCC coaches and teams this season.
