Well said. I'd be more than happy to let one of the wrestling coaches or parents write my stories for me.....with reservations of course..

But I would like to see everyone work hard to get coverage at the local level, then work up. It's not just at the local level. Heck, I got my hinny chewed today because I don't like girls junior varsity basketball. Had four stories in Monday's paper, two on freshmen girls and two on varsity girls games, but the jv coach hasn't turned in anything in. Mom was mad I didn't go to the JV girls games....which are oposite the boys varsity contest....in a different gym....What can you say. I'm a jerk who selects the varsity boys over the jv girls to cover for the paper.

I used to have a fool proof solution...If a coach hadn't called in by 11:15 on a Friday night, I called the principal at home and asked him what the score was. If he wasn't home, I called the super. That got results from then on. I know, like I said above....I'm a jerk sometimes, or my mom said because I don't like her daughters team.
