Our own Friday Night Lights
Did you get enough of Grimsley and Page high schools in today's paper? One caller did and told me that our bias in favor of these two Greensboro schools was showing. We had the Page-Grimsley football rivalry on the front page. We had a look at the football game itself on the sports page. Then, we had an interview with Tray Deese, a Whirlie halfback, on The Final Cut. And finally, a report on the Grimsley-Page girls volleyball game.
The accusation was that we didn't do the same for Dudley-Smith. Actually, we covered that game earlier this month pretty much the same way: a story on the front page, one on the sports page and one on The Final Cut. Only thing we didn't have is a story about a volleyball matchup. The football game itself ended up this way.
(Please note: I alternated the names of the schools in each reference so that I wouldn't be accused of giving one preferential treatment. Some people are so sensitive.) We may not have Friday Night Lights like Texas, but we like a good high school football rivalry as much as anyone.
