So how many prep gamers did your paper cover?

I counted them in my metro today.
My edition was city final and it had 22 staffed games by either a staff writer or a stringer with 24 more games with a paragraph or more. Some of those games looked to be staffed, but the byline didn't make it my particular zone.
I was just curious to see what others did.

 

10 staffed/stringing games
Graph on 34 more
Scores for every game in the state, with a couple of odd exceptions

 

Two.

 

Four, two per writer (volleyball/football doubleheaders).

 

Four.

 

26 games.

Seven staffed, inch count between 13" and 16". Three of those games got photos.

Everything else gets 2-3" shot, divvied up by divisions/leagues. Some are straight adds behind a staffed gamer; some others are a wrap in themselves. We get a lot of mileage out of our head shots with those, too.

 

four gamers, threeby =us and one by sister paper, and briefs on three others.

 

Four gamers staffed, three call ins for football and three for soccer/volleyball as well as a D-II v-ball call in.

 

15 staffed with writer or stringer. every game gets at least 6 inches. six others were call-ins from coaches.
A shitload of work every friday night.

 

At many metro papers stringers are set up at most of their games. But they just write a few grafs. It's easier to get someone to do it than count on a coach to call.

One paper I worked at had reports on about 80 games. It filled four open pages.

 

We staffed four and strung four. We only got three prep pages, so the area boxscores had to stand for themselves.
