Covered a game the other night where one of the teams we cover beat the absolute crap out of the top ranked team in the district. A kid for the team we cover went off with 29 points, 12-12 from the free throw line. I was thinking of incorporating his name (Thompson) in the headline, but can't think of anything that's catchy. Any ideas?
 
Unless this kid is extremely well-known in your area, I'd stay away from putting his name in the headline. If you've got a deck with it, that might be the place to include the name and his point totals.

Sounds like a great time for a deck hed for Mr. Thompson
 
Playing off someone's name in a headline is never catchy, whether the person is known or not.
 
Hey! I graduated from ****stain Tech and I can tell you we never get steamrolled. We just happen to be behind when the buzzer sounds.
