  1. Andy,

    I woke up saturday morning and ran out and bought the .75 cent news and record to catch up on some scores from the Friday night HS games. the scores were posted but no writeups on a few including the Northern Guilford game. How is this possible with a guy like Keenan Allen and a team that is a #1 seed and heading to a State Championship?A guy like Keenan Allen only comes around once in a decade and the News and Record doesnt cover every game he plays? This is nuts!!! On Sunday I go out and buy the 1.50 News and Record to see how Western Guilford made out and to see what they say about Ragsdales 31-0 win which I attended.Dudley got the big headlines which is fine as they deserve it but absolutely no writeup about the powerful Ragsdale team and nothing on Western Guilfords game against Mt Tabor. I could not beleive it. This is the State tournament and these schools are getting no ink. Western boasts one of the best players in the area in Aaron Jones and the sunday paper tells me nothing about what he did in The 14-7 loss. This is so out of hand.
    Well I’m glad I can hit your website to see how these teams and superstars did in their respective games and it cost me nothing.if your readers want to find out more about Keenan Allen and Aaron Jones they can pick up the November issue of Sports Carolina Monthly late this week as we are doing features on both of them. The magazine is free just like your website and we bring the triad the sports news they are looking for.Good job Andy.
