It's official.
With Mission Prep's 20-6 win over Coast Sierra League rival Avenal on Friday, the 2007 fall season is off and running. And with the new season comes a second school year of blogs.
Royals junior quarterback Dylan Morrow got away without being interviewed after the game despite throwing for more than 200 yards and two touchdowns. After one game, he's on pace for more than 2,000 yards and 20 TDs.
But I saw him lingering in the stands while finishing up my story in the press box and decided to walk down and give him the opportunity to be the first athlete quoted in the new season of Bloggin' with Scroggin.
He started every game last season for the Royals. He's played on the baseball and basketball teams. He even played on the San Luis Obispo 16-and-under Babe Ruth All-Stars, a team we featured after it advanced to the World Series this summer.
And I'd never interviewed him. Chances are nobody had. I thought, "Morrow must have more pent up quotes than anybody on the team!" So I held my digital recorder up and gave him carte blanche.
"Uh, Mission rocks," he said.
Anything else?
"Nope, that's all."
And we're underway.

I like the first comment of the season. Too many players and coaches have way too much to say. He said so much more then "Uh, Mission rocks" He just lets his play talk for him. A lot of the best players only "talk" with there play. No words need to be spoken. Watch but listen with your eyes, most of them are talking to us. I hope this is a preview for things to come this season.
