You may recall I wrote a similar gamer earlier this season...well, this is the spinoff.Pretty long so I'll just post the link.

I guess I'm outing myself here but then again I haven't really made any effort to stay anonymous anyways.

Good read, JME. Are you not a staff writer at the Post?

 

Nope, part timer.

 

That's a good read. Something that's weird is I had a local coach talking to me about this after a game the other day. He said it'd be a great story idea. lol

 

He called me and said you were sitting on the story too long, sorry ;D

 

That's quite alright.

 

Great read. Lots of voices and it flows well and it's an interesting topic. Nice job.

 

Thanks huntsie

 

Nice piece, really well built.

But what color were those curls on the kid in the first sentence?

 

Sir,

How close was that to the story you sent in? If it didn't need much editing you won't be a part-timer for long.

YHS, etc

 

jg -- Thanks, his hair was black if it matters.

halfmiler --There were a few small tweaks just to streamline the story, but it was pretty much what I wrote. Thanks for the compliment, I hope you're right
