This past weekend, we’ve tried a little something new with our sports coverage thanks to the use of Cover It Live, a software that allows live chat and commenting abilities.

We soft launched it on a whim on Friday and were surprised to get such strong feedback. We then used it to cover Friday night’s game between Post 22 and Post 320, which culminated in the first ever win by 320 over 22. We used it again on Sunday when 22 got their revenge — and a state title — over 320.

Hundreds followed coverage of the games, and it added a new feature to the site.

Look for more of it in the future, particularly from our sports staff.

To see an example of it, click here to see a live chat with the coach of the Harney baseball squad headed to the regional tournaments.
