The NBA has suspended its season. Trump has addressed the nation. Tom Hanks has cornoavirus. No fans allowed at the NCAA Tournament. Anyone want to hold onto their criticism of the media for over blowing the situation? We report facts. We report the news. We don't make the news.

Play multiple sports!!!!!
Youth coaches: don’t hog a star athlete
High school level coaches: embrace the fact that a kid plays more than just your sport
College coaches: continue to encourage and recruit multi-sport athletes
Spread the word.
Avoid burn out.

@TomRAvery
@BGSUBaseball
I think it’s fair to say you take care of your own before you help the whole world. I’d imagine you look out for your family members before you look out for your neighbor or co-worker. Being critical of anyone who is doing some sort of good is selfish in my opinion.
I must say
@CoachCullop
is a breath of fresh air. Her well spoken words on the cancellation of the MAC and NCAA Tournaments convey compassion and intelligence.

pitcher Joe Dzierwa will use a portion of his NIL money from Charitable Gift America to donate to 'Knights Have Your Back,' which provides Otsego children in need with nonperishable food.
That kid was raised right.
Reasons why I love covering HS sports - Anthony Wayne girls soccer took a team picture as state runner up. Moments later they had to walk right past the Lakota West section - their students applauded AW's efforts. Nice touch to a highly competitive state championship game.
