Hey there, sports fans.
The Plainsman is making some changes to the sports section this year. To avoid any confusion, we would like to clue you in.
We will no longer print recaps of games. By the time the paper gets out on Thursdays, most every student could make the play-by-play from Saturday's game themselves.
This doesn't just effect football, but you get the idea. It's old news.
Instead, we will be posting game recaps online. Check theplainsman.com after any sporting event to see a full summary of the game.
You might be thinking, "What's left for the print edition?"
We will be doing more in-depth previews of upcoming events. Interviews with the opposing coaches will be included, as well as a breakdown of previous meetings.
Also, the sports section will focus more on features this year. We will bring you more human interest stories and learn what's behind the people in uniform.
We hope to include some of the pizazz that has been left out of the section previously.
Some things we are keeping the same include The Weekly Scoop. Look for The Scoop to see when sports events will be, and GO TO THE GAMES!
We are also continuing our weekly Coach's Corner and Athlete of the Week.
We will pick a coach each week to spotlight and ask some random questions to him or her.
Our Athlete of the Week focuses on a student athlete who has accomplished something in their sport. This feature generally focuses on why this person loves playing the sport and what is the leading source of motivation to do well.
We hope this change is for the better. We welcome any and all feedback.
War Eagle!
