Check out this prep football preview ...

This could, inded be fit into perhaps a 20-inch story, but you'd need pics, headshots etc., and this is easily a double-truck or more.
Glitzy stuff like this is the wave of the future and we can only expect to see more of it.
And when you are dealing with H.S. kids at any outlet, you are usually (75 percent) of the time going to be left lacking.
They simply aren't ready to talk directly into cameras and give you much to work with when they have to go more than 10 seconds.
They are just kids.
I like this production, though.

 

always remember, you can't spell scrapbook without crap.

 

and you drop it on the floor and mix it up, and tom petty gives you pet my tot.

 

Actually that was just one part of a major blowout this paper did, which included league previews of every league it covers, an overview of the entire coverage area and a list of top players at each position.

This is the papers complete preview broken up, from its on-line site:

And this is the entire package in one link:

Also, this was packaged in an eight-page special section last Friday.

All in all, I think the Daily News did a wonderful job combining its print resources with its on-line package.

If there is a more comprehensive Prep Football Preview, I'd love to see it.

Good job, Daily News!!

 

thanks for checking in, daily news sports guy!

 

Wow, Franky. You might want to take a second to wipe your ejaculate off your shoes. (And mine too, for that matter.)

 

Dude......

 

Umm, I'd say it's pretty damn sweet...

 

That's great, but I couldn't find those links searching around the site. And I was actively looking. You want to make stuff accessible for people to look for or just stumble across.

 

But Reno Hightower WAS the greatest quarterback in the history of Kern County..

 

To get to the links, just go to their prep page and click on the icon of the ultimate player.

 

thanks, frank.
