EXCERPTS, please click on URL for da whole shabangg, thanks
There’s one thing I have learned since joining the Mid-Valley staff: Football coaches and athletes are a very sensitive bunch...
...There are some coaches who “get it” and take it for what it is. They just appreciate the coverage and attention and have fun with it...
Unfortunately, that’s not the case with many coaches and athletes. If you don’t mention them, somehow you’re slighting them. If you don’t pick them to win despite their 1-7 record, you’re disrespecting them. If you don’t talk about how the 4th receiver at a school has “stepped up” by going from one catch a game to two, you’re playing favorites.
