Does the paper have favorties?

As far as Charlotte Observer (Langston Wertz) is concerned, he has issued an open arms request for all members of TBR to feed him stories, scores and a heads up about anything relevant going on with your program. This is unheard of for a newspaper to do this. If we don't take advantage of it (including your coaches)...shame on us.

No question that he has developed a long term relationship with Hal Bagwell. Hal is one of the few coaches that regularly speaks with Langston. If Langston has a question, that's where he goes. But that has been developed through the years based on Bag's teams success and being the dean of coaches in Charlotte. But I have always found LW to be very approachable and he sincerely appreciates hearing from you guys.
