Week 10: Live Blog Post: Douglas Bulldogs @ Pueblo Warriors 10/14

I was recently hired as a sports stringer for the Arizona Daily Star. My first assignment was to cover the high school football game between the Pueblo Warriors and the Douglas Bulldogs at Pueblo High School. When being assigned to complete a live blog for the Journalism 186, Writing for the Web, class I could think of no other event than the game I covered, Friday, October 14th. The game itself was a very exciting one, the final being 25-13 Bulldogs.
