Competition Comment: As a sports journalist, sports news stories are tough. You want to write it like it's a gamer or you want to delve into narrative, feature storytelling. But the best sports news stories are just straight-forward with the facts and make good use of player, coach or administrator quotes when possible. A good grouping here from Texas schools!
