First off, let me say how much the local newspaper has improved its coverage of high school athletics in the last few years. The folks downtown on Lake Street listened to the cries from the public about the lack of coverage of prep sports and did something about it. Kudos to The Times.
Sitting next to the local sports writers each Friday night during football season over the years has afforded me the opportunity to get to know many of them on a first-name basis. That experience has actually helped me appreciate the art and science of their trade.
What is so frustrating is to develop a professional relationship through the weeks and years with some of these guys and then watch them disappear without notice. First, there was Brian, and now Joel. Both headed off to more sunny pastures, or beaches to be more accurate, in the state of Florida.
Now look guys, it would be nice to have some of you stick around now that we have a decent sports section in the local paper.
