I'm out because I work that day and Marshall County is 2-3 hours from me (and I work at 5:30 a.m. the next morning).

 

USA Today pays at least $75 per story, if not more. I know Courier-Journal pays $75.

 

 

Anyhoo ...

"High school basketball showcase in Benton, Ky., Dec. 5

 

USA TODAY High School Sports is looking for a freelancer to cover two games involving Super 25 nationally ranked teams during The Grind Session event at Marshall County High in Benton, Ky.

 

We are interested in Oak Hill vs. Athletes Institute at 7:30 pm ET and Prolific Prep vs. Advanced Prep at 9 pm ET. Given that this is an all-day event with multiple games, there's no guarantee things stay perfectly on schedule, but those are the listed games times.

 

We would be looking for 800 words or so per game with a more feature-oriented approach for our national preps platform.

 

Please contact Josh Barnett at [email protected] if interested."

Where is Fosko when you need him!

I'm going but wasn't planning to go until Friday. However...for $150, I could likely be persuaded pretty easily. And I can write.
