I barely remember who won last year...

AND we got to see Divisional LRI Chuck Dickerson not once, but TWICE in the video!

One of the things I am very impressed with is the quality of footage they got, while still not being obtrusive to teams or field staff. There was a decent amount of footage from Carver, where I was a referee, and I don't ever remember seeing them around the field. I wish all of the media would be that good. Often times field staff is tripping over media, but they did an awesome job with the video, and capturing what needed to be captured. Kudos to CNN for this awesome spotlight on FIRST!

It is great that FIRST is getting national attention! It definitely is a program that deserves to become as recognized as much (or more) as any other sport or activity.

I loved seeing some RAPTORS shirts in the background when the reporter was talking!

Was Dean out of uniform or was it the lighting?

In our school, we all watch cnn student news before lunch. This story was also on cnn student news as well. I almost cried because I was so happy that 2,000 students in our school were finally seeing what our team put so much effort into. It was really cool seeing that story and I couldn't stop smiling after that.
