It's been a while since I've lived in the area and I've heard the staff and news hole have shrunk drastically since I lived there, but it's not a bad place to cover sports. The city schools are in the best high school hoops conference I've ever seen with many, many players going to high D-I programs. HS football and hockey are pretty competitive in the out-county schools.

 

This isn't a daily newspaper anymore. It's printed four times per week (not sure of the exact days). The rest of the week it's online only.
