If our beloved Chiefs make it this far someday - are you going to be just as happenstance toward them?

I think God is a little too busy to be worried about high school football - I think Starr's Mill should get a little credit.

Maybe our 'Citizen' newspaper will see fit to send a reporter to the game this time since Whitewater is finished for the year. Then we could see pictures of Fayette County winning something and actually know what happened without scouring the blogs. Maybe.

I put something on this web site before the season started that we were looking for someone to join the picks - we were taking entries from anyone and then we would decide on who would get the non-paying gig. Steve was the only person who entered. He felt that him picking games would be interesting and would have people reading them and we didn't disagree. You may not like his picks but they definitely get read.

As for going to the Starr's Mill game this week, we have one sports person - me - and I am going to the game that is in the area. Last week, I was sick in bed with a fever and a nasty case of bronchitis and John Munford backed me up to get photos at Whitewater - a big deal because it was their first state playoff football game. If you are going to Milledgeville this week, send us pictures. We will put them in a gallery on the web and use them in the paper. I promise.

What kind of cheap paper are you working for or are you just lazy and don't want to make the 2 hr. drive to see SM/ Baldwin. Surely the powers that be can kick in a little gas money so you can cover the local HS team. Let the darn fairburn paper cover Landmark. Coverage for a single A game instead of a 4A game of statewide importance is unbelievable. Your competition at the other paper did no better. Now hopefully that SC is finished we can get someone to cover the Panthers instead of hoping one of the Coach's wives will take pictures and tell them what happened.
By the way, Steve Brown is still an idiot

Sorry you were sick - it's been going around. It's a crying shame that we only have one sports writer.

All of that aside, IF you can make it to the state playoffs whenever a Fayette team is involved, and I mean ANY Fayette team, it would be great press for the community and might help us feel a little better about all the success we read about from outside of the county considering the bad press we read about from within (re-districting, guns, drugs, vandals, thefts, arrests, etc.).

Maybe the 'powers that be' could give you a pay raise and a bigger expense account so you could actually make some of these trips?!

Fayette County is one of the most successful counties in ALL competitive areas be it debate or Vollyball. We have someone is state playoffs almost every year in every sport or competition.

Kudos for Munford picking up the ball and running with it - "the press god's must have been smiling down on him".
