bobbyearl Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 There are three area holiday tournaments with teams playing , and there wasn't one story or box score. They did attempt to write an article about the upcoming A.I.T. but they messed up with teams not in the tourney appearing in the bracket, but we did get 2 full pages of letters to Santa. Local schools spend a lot of time,effort,and money to put on a good tournament and depend on the media to get information about their tournaments out there to help boost attendence. The area deserves a better effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalblue Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Does this suprise you? The sports department has a definite maroon tint to it. Whats the chances of Ashland being left out like this if the Tomcats would have won a tournament yesterday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chosen one Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 Royalblue I think that you are way off base on this. Ashland finished 2nd in a tournament last night and there was no coverage on them at all. As a matter of FACT they go no press for the whole tournament. If it has a maroon tint, it's not Ashland maroon.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armchair Coach Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 This being Christmas Eve has a great deal to do with it.Also it is my understanding that the paper now operates with a earlier deadline.The Boyd tournament ended very late the past few nights.Also I did not see any of the Boyd scores in the Lexington Herald for the past two games(Scott and Fleming).Someone from Boyd needs to get those scores called in.

scooterbob Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 The Daily Independent was a much better newspaper for sports fans when it was an afternoon paper rather than a morning paper. Even though the story of last night's game came late on the next day, it was much more detailed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Red Rambler Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 They covered them both online. Don't know about in print: http://www.dailyindependent.com/localsports/local_story_358025226.html and http://www.dailyindependent.com/localsports/local_story_358025512.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U can take a school 30 miles away or in another state and they can get a full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gametime00 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 No box score or anything. Come on how long does it take to throw that in. There was nothing printed at all. If Ashland would have won the tourny they were in, I bet they would have been front page news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterx3 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 It was a deadline issue guys, relax, some people take off a little early for Christmas, I would look for the stories Tuesday, I think the ADI does a good job with the resources they have, its not that easy a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-CAT4LIFE Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 It was a deadline issue guys, relax, some people take off a little early for Christmas, I would look for the stories Tuesday, I think the ADI does a good job with the resources they have, its not that easy a job My thoughts exactly.. Looking at the ADI online today, nothing has been updated since yesterday, and not much more since Friday. It's not just the sports department that's running a little slow right now.

U can take a school 30 miles away or in another state and they can get a full article This year has been THE WORST for Maysville sports coverage. Practically full-page articles if you're from 40 miles away in Ohio, limited if any coverage of Maysville teams. I'd say the sports staff must all be from Adams and Brown Counties, but JF grew up a couple of doors down from me here in Maysville. Lots of my friends are getting pretty upset about the lack of coverage for Mason County boys and girls basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goliath Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I must be lost because this week i've read articles about Greenup, Boyd, Russell, Raceland, and Ashland in the tournaments they've been playing in?? I think some of you are a bit too nitpicky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBWC41 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I would typically agree with a lot of you guys, because if I had it my way, I wouldnt recieve any type of paper except for the sports page. Its christmas, the guys at ADI have the right to slack off a little just like everyone of us does at our jobs before a nice break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Jed Posted December 25, 2006 Share Posted December 25, 2006 I read the Sunday paper at about 5:30 PM on Saturday night before I left work. But I do think the Independent has too much of an Ashland bias. It claims to be a regional newspaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
