OK,they do have some problems. They need a local sports editor; I mean someone that truly knows what's going on in the High School sports environment.
Case in point is this weeks feature on Kempsville's star; Neil Ramirez.

The banner start's with: Athlete to Meet: Kempsvile ace Neil Rivera- is this a new kid?
Then within the piece, Ms Leigh states " it's been 10 years since a local guy has been selected in the
1st round".
Someone please correct me if I am wrong, but I am thinking of the following:
Micheal Cuddyer
John Curtice
David Wright
BJ Upton
Ryan Zimmerman
and was not the #1 pick overal in 06, Justin Upton.
As a photographer/videographer (Mass Communication Specialist) in the Navy, this kind of sloppy reporting irks me to no end. The context of the reporting was good, but the players featured could at least have their names spelled correctly.
HamptonRoads.TV, I am available in a year from now;
I would love to do this.
