I hope you can believe me when I tell you that our lives aren t so small that all we care about is how our high school sports teams fare. I can tell you with complete certainty that I never have lost a wink of sleep over a loss by any of our teams. So, first of all, let me point out that we are in the business of informing our readers. We can t do that if we re constantly snubbing some people and not others. If we did, we d be defeating our own purpose.
Successful newspapers don t work that way.
Second, we won t allow our writers to take cheap shots at any high school team or player. If anything, we re more than fair to our teams, especially when they re not doing well. I ve heard about how unfairly OHS is treated in this sports section. In fact, nothing could be further from the truth. I must admit that I respect the way the people of this town care about their young people.
