High School Cancellations

High School cancellations will definitely be coming all across the area as a rainy, soggy Friday will pelt the area. One cancellation has already been announced. Bassett at Jefferson Forest won't take place tonight. It will happen Saturday night at 7.

Stay tuned for more cancellations throughout the day.

People are too sensitive

In high school athletics, can the media be fair? I know there was a recent letter in the News & Advance, criticizing the paper for saying William Campbell and Altavista could become a laugher. I don't see the problem in this. When I hosted "Talking High School Sports", my goal was to promote positive coverage for high school sports more then anybody. That is still a goal of mine with "The Sports Buffet" pod-cast (http://thesportsbuffet.mypodcast.com) but how can high school sports be covered fairly? Should high school sports be covered in the sports section or the community section? Sports reporting might have a word or two in there that is not approved of by fans of a certain school or team. I know it is easier to be critical of scholarship athletes or professional athletes who are earning a salary to play, but I don't think we have to write high school sports articles or cover high school sporting events with extreme kid gloves.

Alvis out.
