H.S. Wrestling Coverage

Thank goodness for the Kentucky Wrestling Coaches Association's website...When updated, that thing is a goldmine of information.

 

Best post ever.

 

No, not best post ever.

Dissing a sport because a) you don't like it or b) you don't understand it doesn't serve a particularly great purpose on a thread where somebody just wants to find out the best way to go about his job.

 

obviously he never read "lusting for amy."

 

That was tinged with greatness. It passed just for style points.

Plus, that guy who started the thread just was looking to bitch in the first place. This guy's looking for help.

 

Two tips:

1) If there are any girls who wrestle on the boys teams in your area, they're always good for a feature

2) When interviewing the wrestler after the match, especially if he won by pin (fall), ask him what move he used. That way in your story you can say he performed a ball-and-chancery or a cradle or whatever the name of the move was, without using that quote, and sound like you know what you're talking about.

 

after you're done doing a feature on a female wrestler, be sure your next game story's lede references the weather .. about as unique.

 

I didn't realize that girls on the boys wrestling teams was that common.
Let me rephrase the idea ... a feature on why more and more girls are participating in wrestling.

 

There are a lot of girls turning up as placekickers across the country, too. That doesn't make the story any less interesting to that particular readership.

There's being unique, and then there's being unique to each other. The second doesn't matter so much.

 

I wasn't dissing the sport. I was looking for a real answer! How come so many wrestlers cry like babies after the meet? Low blood sugar?

 

If you have to cover wrestling often, ask the coach if you can come to some practices and learn what some of the moves are.

Also would give you some insight to what the guys are going through. Be prepared to sweat your ass off just watching, though.
