Our new Player of the Week is Goreville's Nick Compton.
We show a lot of highlight's but I enjoy the story behind the athletes and the coaches. Massac County is off to a good start, and as I found out they've got some good things going on in Metroplis. Storylines that a box score won't tell.
Every night there's a local basketball game going on. We've been showing highlights, but there's so much more to tell than a showing basket or a touchdown when talking football. There's that human element. Sometimes that goes unnoticed.
