Ways to report
Sports Editor
With the 2010 spring season officially under way, it is crucial for local baseball, softball, track and tennis coaches to report their results to the newspaper in a timely fashion.
The newspaper strives to cover as many games as possible throughout the week, but with so many teams covering such a vast geographic area, it is impossible to be at every home game. Therefore, we ask area coaches to send in their game/meet results as soon as possible after each contest, regardless of if they play at home or on the road.
There are a number of ways coaches can submit their information. Game results may be phoned in to the Star-Herald (768-5431) or the Aroostook Republican and News (496-3251) or faxed to the newspapers at 764-7585 (Star-Herald) or 492-4351 (Aroostook Republican).
Coaches may also e-mail articles or score sheets. This is the best way to get information to the sports department. Information can e-mailed to starherald@nepublish.com for Star-Herald or republican@nepublish.com for the Aroostook Republican and News.
When submitting baseball/softball results, coaches should include the following information: day the game was played; final score; pitching statistics for both teams (including how many innings the player pitched as well as how many runs, hits walks and strikeouts they recorded); who got hits for both teams; who scored runs for both teams; and coach’s comments on how the game went.
For tennis, coaches should submit individual results, including any exhibition matches played, as well as comments on how the match went. For track and field, coaches should submit the full results and include any comments.
