Sports Coverage and Challenges

I have similar issues with the concerns we brought up in our sports session with my staffs. Most are involved in AP classes and sports themselves and often times they have no time for covering the actual game days and nights. The others do not drive and have trouble arranging rides.

We all seem to face the same challenges. We had a situation this past year where they canceled the soccer team for JV girls after we designated a spread in the middle of the sports section, and we didn't get ANY varsity boys soccer photos from ANY of the practices or games (and didn't realize it until the deadline month), so we had several meltdowns during the year with obtaining content.

The alternate coverage ideas were helpful, the quiz was a fun break and a great bell work activity and the award-winning photography and page layouts are always inspirational to view.

It is rewarding knowing I'm a part of the movement forward with the younger generation-teaching them and helping them to document their lives in print media. Another fine performance, Alan!
