Decisions, decisions
One of the most asked questions I get as sports editor is how we go about deciding our sportspeople of the week.
I wish I could give you this complex formula for the way we go about deciding our weekly winners, but the bottom line is my staff going through the papers, seeing who we feel deserves the award, and going from there.
Is it an exact science?
Far from it.
Do qualified people get the short end of the stick (for lack of a better team)?
Sometimes.
So here are some things to keep in mind if you think your son or your daughter is worthy of consideration.
1) We do accept nominations from parents or relatives, but to be quite honest, I give a little more weight to nominations coming from a coach or a school official. No offense folks, but I would tend to think a parent's judgment might be a little clouded when it comes to his or her child.
2) For our purposes here at the Freeman, we consider only high school age kids and younger. That’s a policy that was established years ago to try to give more consideration to our youth.
3) When nominating someone, please remain positive about others who might be considered. There have been too many instances where a parent or coach has attacked another sportsperson candidate in order to pump on their own.
So keep things positive and remember, just because you have nominated someone, it doesn’t necessarily mean that boy or girl is a lock for the award.
But keep the nominations coming, and until next time, take care and God bless.
