First Shot - Success!

This past Friday, Coachfour began broadcasting his local high school sports with his Palmyra Panthers basketball game as they took on Monroe City High School.  He put a lot of effort into getting the game on the air, as it took a fair amount of preparation, as well as several attempts to get permission from the school board.  They liked the idea of the free service they could give to the community, so they gave it a go.   Using Friday's broadcast as a test, he had some board members listening in to the live broadcasting, with the play-by-play going very well.  He was able to use Skype and cell phones to help broadcast through the game, located in an area of weak Internet connectivity.  Overall, the broadcast went well and Palmyra will continue their live high school sports in the future.
