A tough decision I'm struggling to make.

One of the many things I miss about my dad, Business Manager David Whitaker, being gone is his help in making tough decisions. He was logical when I'd be emotional. And he was ready to help.

Including going with me on long trips that I either couldn't make or might get too tired from having to drive alone. That leads me to the game this Friday at Early County.

I know it's a big deal. Just the third time in BCHS history football has made it to round two of the playoffs. Football coverage gets the site great web traffic.

Also don't want to let down the many people who enjoy reading the site for my coverage of football. But I'm not sure I can make this trip. I've Googled it, it's almost three hours. As some have said, there's no easy way to get there.

Making it worse is that the return trip would be late at night. Overall, going to the game would be costly. Both financially and physically. It would also make it more difficult for me to cover things the next day.

On top of that, while I'd have quality content by going, I'd be losing quantity of content. Namely the Pilot Club Lite-A-Lite ceremony and Winter Wonderland Express beginning.

Being honest, I'm scared to make the trip. Scared of the distance, the cost, everything it'd involve. It's hard because even though I wish I could do it all, I can't. Physically, financially, I've got limits. And I'm scared that trip would push me past them.

All I know to do is to sleep on it and pray about it. It's a decision I'll have to make alone. In any case, I will have stats and some semblance of a writeup regardless.

Please understand that this is difficult for me. And the only thing I'd ask of you would be prayers that if it's God's will for me to be there, He would clear a path.

Thanks for your continued readership and support.
