How to write a sports article?
mikej2390 asked:
I am thinking of getting covering some local high school sports games for my local newspaper to get experience while still in college. The problem is, I have no experience writing sports articles. Does anyone have any advice or help that they could give me on how to write the column? Such as do I need to keep track of the players stats or do I get all the stats afterwards from a score keeper? I would appreciate any help.

Haha, I’m on my school’s newspaper team too.
You’re supposed to put the winning score before the losing score, despite who won or lost. Talk about who made the big plays. Put it in chronological order. What specific things did the coach/players have to say about the game.
Focus in on a key player possibly.
