My first Friday night as a sports reporter was memorable, to say the least. It really started on Thursday night, the first football game of my sports reporter career. I traveled down to Montgomery for Holtville’s season opener at Trinity Presbyterian.Â
It was a great football game. A bit of a rain delay, but it was a beautiful night in spite of the suffocating humidity.Â
