The game of threes

After a bad shooting deficit, BYU basically clawed their way past Colorado State with a slew of 3-pointers at key moments. Final count: 11 threes. That means 33 of their final 64 points were from beyond the arc. Read all about it here: Women’s basketball runs down Rams

Double what?

"Your story will go in the double truck," J.J. told me on Wednesday in the newsroom.

"Okay," I said. "That's great." What's a double truck? Or did he say double track?

Well my friends, this morning I found out what a "double truck (track?)" is.

Thoughts from a rookie sportswriter

When I signed up for Comms 321, I never thought I'd end up on the sports desk. I've always loved sports but it was mostly playing them I liked. I didn't know much about any sport- except basketball and baseball.
I spent about three years of my life working as a baseball, softball and basketball scorekeeper in my hometown and loved it. I had to learn the official rules and signs, and before long reading the officials' calls was second nature. I've never followed any sports teams ever, so it's been fun and challenging to get to know the BYU women's basketball team throughout the semester with interviews and at games. I didn't know what I was doing at first- I kind of felt like the Universe made me figure that out on my own. That's probably why I'm so proud to call myself a sportswriter.
