During my site visit and training with the newsroom staff of the Waxahachie (Texas) Daily Light, I picked up last Sunday's edition and came across a great spread by sports editor Chad Wilson.
Wilson, who is a one-man sports department like many of the newspapers in ACM, used an alternative story format to countdown the top 10 sports stories throughout the school year.
First, let me say, Chad's layout of the feature was extremely eye catching and really popped off the page, starting on the front of the sports section and then jumping the countdown to page 2 of sports.
The ASF is easy to read, and turned what could have been a ho-hum countdown story into a must-read for the local sports fan.
Also, this is a great idea for sports editors to do in the summer when high school sports are out of season in most of our regions.
Hats off to Chad on a job well done!
