A great weekend

It was a great weekend weather-wise and everyone got their games in this weekend. Here’s hoping it stays that way.
Just an aside on sports writing. Believe me when I tell you we try and do the best that we can every day. With limited time and space it’s tough to get everything done we want to get done and others want us to do.

That said, we went to the Associated Press Society of Ohio awards banquet Sunday morning. Several Courier staffers were up for awards. It was so nice that most of the sports staff and a couple of people from the newsside had a little tailgate before the banquet. Miller Lite and a couple of Jello shots strictly for celebration purposes.

Anyway the Courier sports staff won several awards…
DIVISION III, Newspapers with daily circulation of 13,000 to 24,999
Best Sports Enterprise: 1, Jamie Baker and Mark Heiman, The (Findlay) Courier, "New OHSAA Divisions"; 2, Dave Hanneman, The (Findlay) Courier, "FHS and Substance Abuse"
Best Sports Columnist: 1, Dave Hanneman, The (Findlay) Courier
Best Sports Writer: 3, Mark Heiman, The (Findlay) Courier; HM, Dave Hanneman, The (Findlay) Courier.
Best Daily Sports Section: 2, The (Findlay) Courier.

I feel very lucky to work with outstanding sports writers and more importantly terrific individuals. I hope everyone feels as blessed in their workplace as I do in mine to be working with great people and friends.

Back to blogging about your local sports tomorrow. I have to rant about area high school softball coaches and their irresponsibility.
