Merry Christmas edition
Watched a little wrestling today at the BG Duals. Great even if anyone gets the chance take it in tomorrow at BGSU. In the meantime I have to finish my wrestling coverage critique…
I won’t be back blogging probably until Christmas…if I do get some results over the weekend I will post them.
Happy Holidays to everyone out there!
Coverage Critique Part II
Mansfield News Journal -- B. Great wrestling writer in Jon Spencer. Results in the paper are a little sparse on a daily basis. Spencer is also the beat writer for the OSU coverage for Gannett’s Ohio newspapers so there won’t be much until they win the national championship.
Marion Star -- C-. A few features and that’s about it. Some results but really if you are looking for coverage look elsewhere.
Napoleon Northwest Signal -- D. Not much to say here. I’ve picked it up a few times in Deshler and haven’t been impressed. Plus their website sucks.
Norwalk Reflector -- C-plus. Pretty decent job covering the Norwalk schools, Edison and Monroeville. Better than most.
Port Clinton News Herald -- B-. Hey the writing from the stringers isn’t all that great but at least they get out and cover some of the bigger area duals great effort.
Sandusky Register -- A. You people in Sandusky might complain but let me tell you the job the Register does covering wrestling far surpasses the majority of newspapers. Way to go Dan.
Shelby Daily Globe -- A-. I can always find out what the Shelby and Plymouth teams are doing by checking out the Globe. I just wish they would add the summaries to their online content.
St. Marys Evening Leader
Tiffin Advertiser Tribune -- C-. They’ll staff girls basketball a couple of times a week but so far only have sent a writer to the Calvert-Columbian-Mohawk match. we’ll see how they do later in the season.
Toledo Blade -- D. One of America’s Great Newspapers huh? Right. The Blade flat out stinks.
Van Wert Times Bulletin -- D-plus. Not much information even though Van Wert is a pretty good program they barely get a passing grade.
Wapakoneta Daily News -- C. I think they only grapplers they cover are Wapakoneta. It’s OK.

I know the Advertiser-Tribune would also like to have more room for wrestling agate and box scores, but a lack of that and writers (three full-timers, a part-timer and two stringers, who don't all always work on the same nights) results in the paper having to rely on the majority of its wrestling results being submitted in order to be published.
However, the paper does cover a few duals (the recent Calvert-Columbian-Mohawk affair was one) and tournaments (the recent Hopewell-Loudon Holiday Duals was one, with the Columbian Wendy's Tournament and the NOL and MAL yet to follow) during the regular season.
But we'll take Jamie's criticism constructively — he's forgotten more about wrestling than we'll probably ever know — and continually try to do better.
