Be
assured that it gives me great pleasure to be able to publish something
positive about one of our local news outlets.
For I would like to believe that there are some in the business who really are
serious about producing a quality segment, and it gives me cause to hope that
their efforts can actually make it on the air in spite of the efforts of
station management to just avoid having nothing more than a test pattern to go
on-air with.
Yes,
it was a puff-piece, which first aired on [KSPR], and it certainly did not hurt with me that it was about my
high school alma mater. Of course, with
it being around 20 years since the last time I spent much of any time at all
around the town, it could have been really messed up and I wouldn’t know it.
Well,
I got to take at least some of that back.
For I do know that the Cassville R-IV sports teams are still the [Wildcats], and I have been keeping up on how the high school football team has
been doing since they started being really, really good around 10 years ago.
Alas,
I have great concerns about them possibly doing something quite unethical—not to
mention blatantly against the rules. For
unless something drastic has changed since I moved away for good, there
shouldn’t be enough talented players available year after year to keep them winning at
least 10 games per season. including a couple of state championships.
Yes,
all indications are that the difference between Cassville and the rest of the
pack is just the coaching staff. For I
cannot recall ever hearing about one of their players being recruited by even
the likes of [Missouri State], which is just around 60 miles away to the
northeast in Springfield—let alone [Arkansas], which is around the same
distance away to the south-southwest in Fayetteville.
By
the way, that 30-game regular-season winning streak is now at 31 after
Cassville beat the defending Class AA state champion, [Lamar], 31-0 last Friday
night (September 7, 2012).
Just
in case you are not up on your American history, Lamar is the birthplace of
[Harry S. Truman], who served as the President of the United States of America from
1945 to 1953. Aside from the [Blue Top Café],
I have never liked much of nothing about that town.
