Live chat scheduled for ... ???
We'll be having a live chat again this week ... but we're trying to figure out when to have it.
We'd like to have a regular time, and one that would be convenient for high school players, coaches and fans.
The 7 p.m. Wednesday time worked well during the fall, but most fall season games and practices were over by then. In basketball season, games might keep people in gyms until after 9 p.m. And there's a totally selfish reason at work here, too -- I want to be checking out games until after 9 p.m. too! Having a chat during the school day or right after (during practice) seems like it would be contrary to the schedule of student-athletes and coaches.
We'll throw up this shot: How about 10 p.m. Wednesdays? I just checked the boys hoops schedule, and there aren't too many busy Wednesdays. And actually, that time of night has seemed to be a pretty popular one for comments. And there are some good games on those Wednesdays so it could prove to be a true postgame chat.
Let us know what you think. Is 10 p.m. too late? If it's not too late for Law & Order and CSI, it can't be too late for Prep Talk, can it?
We'll announce the time on here ASAP -- it will also be in Tuesday's Scholastic Spotlight.
