Dixon going to St. Pete
Kellie Dixon, who has covered high school sports for us for three years, is joining the St. Petersburg Times in a similar position. It's a tough loss for us because a good prep sports writer is hard to find, which is why St. Pete hired her. She helped created the Final Cut page on Fridays and our All-Area athletes packages.
High school sports fans will be in good hands, though. Jeff Carlton, who has already logged one stint on the prep sports beat, takes over. Jeff's a regular poster at SportsExtra. We're lucky to have him in the bullpen. For the record, he's 29-7 in his high school football predictions. Kellie is 26-10.
