If I recall, didn't Derek make All-State as a punter one year too?

Great athlete and he was always a good sport in interviews.

I can't speak for Taft specifically but I went to high school at one of their league rivals (Western Hills c/o 02) and the reason for the small crowd is probably what you'd see at any Cincinnati Public School. There is very little sense of community, little parental involvement and no concept of nei...

Wish I could have hung around a couple more months to cover this run. Good luck Trojans.

Coaches absolutely give extra to their seniors when it comes to awards in their District teams and like has been said on here sometimes there's nothing wrong with that. My opinion as a former member of the media is that it's ok. It's the Coaches' Team and they can do it how they want. That's why som...

Daluv, People have always found this hard to believe but Oak Hill is to some degree a local team. All the teams in the SOC I and II as well as Portsmouth and Piketon have long been considered the local teams. There are subscribers in all those places. Also who knows, maybe they didn't get a good pho...

The PDT is in rough shape, no argument here. I see errors in it all the time and when I worked there I made my share. When a staff as small as theirs is forced to put out a daily paper with beyond unreasonable deadlines they have to make a choice. They can either move as fast as they can, get some c...

They did cover the game, but with the deadlines it went online, not in print.

On the matter of a 9pm deadline we agree 100 percent. For the record when they shut down the onsite press the deadlines went from 11:30 almost every night to 10 except 9 on tues and 8 on Sat. I don't think that was a PDT decision as much as a heartland publications call but it was never explained to...

The PDT sports staff is stuck with an inexplicable 9 p.m. deadline on Tuesdays. There is no way for them to cover games for print on Tuesday nights. Plus the new sports editor has been there like a week. Give him a break. I'm sure he'll do better than the last guy ;)

The last guy

ClevelandBrowns#1 is dead on. I covered sports in SE Ohio for six years and never once had a dog in the fight. Watching the game when you don't care who wins makes you realize how crazy some fans really are. There's good natured goofiness that is over the top and fun but some people scream FOUL lite...

Thanks Frank. I'm already settling in in Lexington but I miss the high school basketball season already.

I'll be keeping an eye on the SOC and Portsmouth from down here but now I can finally just be a fan.

Didn't realize my story got picked up by a wire service. Kayla is a great player and a great interview. Hope everyone enjoyed the story.

Anyone know about these three?

Symmes Valley at East
Eastern at Notre Dame
Piketon at Adena

Nevermind. They're all cancelled.

Anyone know about these games?

Chesapeake at Portsmouth
Minford at Northwest
Western at New Boston
Green at Notre Dame

glad you liked it.

Second that. What was the score of Minford's game?

Hey everyone, We here at the Daily Times sports department took some time out of our Saturday to film a goofy little commercial about about us getting ready for the high school basketball season. We hope you like it. http://www.portsmouth-dailytimes.com/pages/news_sports John Stegeman Sports Editor
