Lee: Where has the time gone?
In a column this week, Greg Lee, my walking partner and high school sports writer extraordinaire, makes some predictions for the year ahead:
Where has the time gone?
I started my 33rd year at The Spokesman-Review last week. I’ve been at the newspaper longest among active full-time sports department employees (not counting the outdoors codger).
I don’t look at it as survival – although in an industry that’s creeping ever so slowly to death in regards to front door delivery – or so they tell us – I’m thankful we have some ink and newsprint still available.
Every year brings the promise of fall, winter and spring teams contending for state championships. I can’t recall a dull year. But I did just turn double nickels in mid August and I’ve noticed cobwebs collecting in the noggin.
Most of you will enjoy the 2016-17 high school athletic year. I hope to enjoy it as much as you because I’ll be able to chronicle many of the successes.
I don’t care which teams or individuals win. I just want teams/athletes from eastern Washington and North Idaho to succeed. That’s as close to being a homer as I ethically can allow/Greg Lee, SR/SWX. More here.
Question: Do you have any predictions re: 2016-17 high school sports in the Inland Northwest?
