Great place to start, nice part of the country and Carlina is great people. Tivy is usually a great football team, too, so you're not ever watching bad football on Fridays.

 

What happened to the Schmid clan?

 

Anyone know anything about this place? Is it 50/50 writing and design?

 

Pretty much. If you're not a slow designer. When I was there, you seldom had more than two pages a day in sports, so pretty easy to write and design the whole section. Usually news side helped out on Friday nights, too.

 

Fightin' Antlers is high on my list of favorite high school mascots of all time.
