JV coverage

So let's start a thread called "Last week in JV Sports"

 

Or we can do it here:
Last week in JV sports
...a football player ran for three yards.
...a superfan met his/her idol.
...a volleyball player entered womanhood.

 

The Managing Editor of a great Metroplitan Newspaper has a child on a JV team at a small local HS school. We're friendly as our kids are good friends and teammates, so I asked him why doesn't the paper have a beat writer for the JV team. I mean they have one for the local NFL, MLB and College teams. He said he'll do it. So when his kid scored and he started claping, I yelled at him for cheering in the press box.

 

The worst is when you work at the big area newspaper and their town's local covers those teams. After you get done telling the parent you cover 75 high schools and their teams and just don't have the manpower or the room, they counter with, "Well, Smalltown Weekly does a great job of covering our girls."

Good for them. Sometimes I'd love to be responsible for one high school. I'd cover the hell out of that XC team.
