Season Highlights &#8211; Part 6"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, there are a number of things \u201cbrewing\u201d this week on the local sports landscape.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the transition week for most sports as the teams that have been \u2018backed up\u2019 on getting games in due to the weather, poor field conditions, et al have to play all their games before the playoffs start (it is a District XI-wide rule that you just can\u2019t \u201cblow off\u201d scheduled games and must make an effort to play them\u2026or forfeit a game, which hurts you when it comes to the playoff picture).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the same time, coaches, players, athletic directors, fans and those of us in the media are preparing for a busy stretch of activities coming up\u2013along with doing whatever \u201crain dance rituals\u201d we can to have the wet stuff come before the playoffs get underway in a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition to being out at some of the preliminary playoff games this week, the ATVN Sports team and I did something new this spring.\u00a0 To increase our reach in covering other sports and more schools than we ever have before, this week\u2019s \u201cSportsTalk\u201d show will be entirely made up of features on local scholastic teams.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We tried our best to give a good balance between girls and boys sports, big schools and small schools, and Colonial League vs. Eastern Pennsylvania Conference.\u00a0 While the weather ruined our best laid plans, I think we still managed to see a number of different teams and sports\u2013including some that don\u2019t normally get a ton of media attention anywhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure you tune if for the \u2018first-ever\u2019 all-features edition of \u201cSportsTalk,\u201d which aiirs every Thursday at 7pm live and replays at 9pm and Saturday morning at 9am on the Astound TV Network.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, if you missed last week\u2019s show featuring NCAA Division-I Officials Evaluator Frank Scagliotta, the show is now available on Video-On-Demand, which is free for all Astound Broadband video customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*************<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, we continue our
