[quote=Anonymous]Although there are pretty quick write ups of some high school sports in the local papers on-line editions in VA, MD, DC, the Washington Post always seems to be 4 days late and not particularly interested, unless it is a human interest story.  The Washington Metro area not only has teams that contend for state championships, but are[b] nationally[/b] ranked in the the Top 25 (USA Today, etc.).  The "minor" and women's sports have the worst coverage.  The Catholic and private schools get their due in football and basketball due to national level recruiting, but that isn't where high school athletics begins and ends.

I live in Virginia, but the are other examples from DC and MD...so last year Battlefield HS girls soccer was in the Top. The past Saturday another [b]national level [/b] match up O'Connell #6 and James Madison #14 played in girls softball...The Washington Post...crickets...we'll see an article, ohhh...Tuesday when they do their weekly update.

We should be celebrating these kids throughout the season and The Post can't even write up big games in a timely manner.

OK..Vent done.[/quote]
