Perhaps the Statesman Journal could and should hire you as a stringer. You seemingly produce more local sports news - breaking or otherwise - overall than they have in a similar time frame. No put down of Pete or the SJ, but tis what it tis. You capture the heartfelt side of things. You use levity and as a serious journalist you ask the right questions.
OSAA needs to post your writings and ramblings too, and at some point you should be paid. Can't keep working for free. Old SNL Affirmation: You're good enough and dang it, people like you." ;-)
Love the articles, Mark. Along with Allegre, I would suggest you not be shy from seeking compensation for your work here. We are all certainly being rewarded by your investment of time and talent. You deserve more than thanks, buddy.
Ha! Just read Haugen’s comment. I agree, great articles/reporting. Honestly, you need to get some heavy hitters tuning in… from South High alone, Dave Johnson #1 and DJ #2 (Olympic great), Scott McCormick, Eric Johannsen, Paul Goodwin, Kenny Hise, Rick Lacey, Havercroft, Tyler Allen, Dufault. Way too many to remember, and that’s just one school…
