Congratulation on the regular season sweep of the Admirals.

 

Was surprised to see the game was not even mentioned in the Knoxville News-Sentinel. Guess that makes it pretty evident that whoever covers high school sports for them now is certainly not from Knoxville.

 

Beating Farragut is always a sweet moment as a Bulldog fan. (Doesn't happen very often except in basketball) Good luck, and keep focused. Need to finish 1 or 2 in the District tournament, or the season is over.

I e-mailed Drew Ewards @ the Sentinal about this and his reply was that they covered 59 high schools and they didn't have enough resources to cover all games and if they did, it would be a 100 page sports section.

It's great that the N-S does the Knoxpreps website but coverage of HS sports in the paper itself has never been good, especially during spring. The N-S sports section is only 8 pages. They could add 2 pages devoted just to HS sports and do a much better job. Heck, some East TN papers even print Little League box scores. Those papers cover smaller areas than the N-S, but they have smaller circulation, too.

 

"They don't have enough resources" really means "we choose not to allocate resources to covering that," anyway.
