Saturday Night live on the Net

Two weeks ago for the first ever, the Kaneland football game against Marian was presented live on the world wide web. We called it Saturday live on the Net. It was a success! 103 people watched on the Knights site and over 450 signed on to the Woodstock site.

The Marengo game last week the audience grew to 160 viewers during the game and another 82 post game reviews. Woodstock had another 360 viewers.

For the Championship game we surpassed all expectations with 620 people hitting the Knights site Saturday. 115 pregame hits, 414 game hits, and 111 post game hits. The Woodstook site added 320 additional viewers.

That's nearly 1000 people following the Championship game on the Web. WOW. Really WOW!!!

This is really stuff!!
