When you read my Paramount-Cabrillo football game story in the Press-Telegram's web or print editions on Saturday, consider this:
I wrote it on my BlackBerry 8700!
That is because my Dell Latitude D610 died (as it turned out, it was just a temporary state) two minutes before kickoff at Cabrill tonight) and I had to improvise.
Why am I blogging now? Because, after opening up the backside of my laptop with a Phillips head screwdriver when i got home an hour ago, I was able to jiggle the battery and the laptop is now functional! Look at me: I'm a computer "tech"!
Back to the fourth quarter at Cabrillo:
Cabrillo was up, 12-10, but the visiting Pirates scored all 15 points, with six of those coming on 23-yard pass from Robert Gales to Patrick Hunter with 2:36 to go.
The Pirates' defense was also up to the task, collecting three Cabrillo turnovers and getting a safety that cut Paramount's deficit to 12-8.
Cabrillo Coach A.J. Luke and his players will be kicking themselves for a while, though: That was a very winnable game.
And things get tougher next Friday night at St. John Bosco.
