    Last year when we got our Sweet-16 banner from the Charlotte Observer Langston said it was probably the last one. He was planning on doing the poll for football and basketball only.

    I'd have to agree with cougarfan. Donny Pennell of the Taylorsville Times sets the standard for high school sports coverage. Dony's article's always tell it like it is and if you miss a game you know what happen by reading his stuff.

    I feel like the times has baised covrage. If you run with the sports editor, your kids are in the paper. I have never seen at a soccer game. He gives football way too much publicity. The football team wins a few games a year and he is always on the sidelines. Cross Country is screwed too. Does anyone know who I can contact at the times concerning this! :confused: :( :mad:

    If Donny (Taylorsville Times) run with all of the parents of all the pics he puts in paper he would have an entourage. I have always seen pics of cross country runners and every other sport whether its high school, middle school, recreation. Every paper that has a sports page allows alot of football cover because of the size of the sport not just the number of wins. Just a fact of life. This week 2 pages were dedicated to recreation b-ball pics. I thank the times for giving him the space to get all of this in. I never miss an issue maybe you missed a few. Also check out www.taylorsvilletimes.com. Even though it is a small county Donny puts in alot of nights running around getting pics. Keep up the great work Donny!!

    i agree the asheville paper is terrible unless you are enka or north buncombe
    hendersonville paper improving everyday
    our local paper the transylvania times does a great job with all of our local sports. in addition we are fortunate to have a local radio station wsql am that also does a great job with high school sports
    unfortunately, we only have two schools in county, but you cant have it all

    Well let's see Inspector1 are you an idiot? To say Donny gives special treatment to certain sports in crazy. If you've never seen a soccer game that's your problem I know Donny goes to soccer games every year. However there is only one of him, he can't be at all the sports at one time. Another secret he's not the only person that works at the times, he has to cover town meetings as well. Rest assure that someone from the Times is at most of the Soccer games. Oh by the way, you said football only wins a few games ayear and he's always there. Well let's see

    A. I don't think he was at everygame this year, look at the pictures they tell the story.

    B. I haven't really seen AC's soccer team making a playoff push or heck even a let's win five games push, and they play twice as many games as football.:cool:
