I wouldn't go that far.

They probably got the idea from a reader. Hometown papers have a tendency to shower their heroes with adulation, no matter how deserved.

Remember, kids...don't ever let facts get in the way of your argument.

Yeah, we get regular front page Russell Branyan updates in our hometown paper in Greensboro, GA, just because his dad is from the area.

maybe im off base

I asked some others and I apparently am the only one who sees a problem with it. the paper i work for covers almost nothing but high school sports, but i cant imagine ever doing this for one of our athletes and i know none of my editors would ever go for it.

but…shrug

Yeah.

That’s probably where small local papers attract the most attention, since they’re probably not going to get exclusive-ish access to pro teams and whatnot that aren’t based nearby.
