There are schools on the east side of Conway as well...

What about the Bob Courtway/Simon volleyball games that took place at the exact same time, in the exact same gym on Wednesday? Why are they not reported here?

There are people who live on the east side of town who subscribe to the paper as well. Or at least they do for the moment...

Since you're new here...

This subject has been addressed many times.

The LCD, or any paper for that matter, does not have sufficient staff to cover every sporting event of every school in their readership area. Because of that, they mostly rely upon information/articles submitted by the schools regarding these events.

Any school desiring to have their events published needs to assign a class (journalism), student group (we had a school newspaper when I was in middle school that handled this), or even parent (or group of parents) prepare the information and provide it to the paper.

This isn't anything new. It was that way when I was in middle school, JH, HS (shortly after the invention of the wheel).

DJB is right. On any given

DJB is right. On any given day, there are dozens of games, from middle school to college, that have to be processed and we now have essentially a one-person reporting staff to do it. Just in volleyball, if you break it down to A and B teams, there are at least a dozen volleyball teams from ninth-grade down. Larger papers have the same problem. The reality: There are far more games and teams than any single publication or entity can report without folks cooperating in submitting information.
We don't have time nor staff to chase down results. But we are not going to penalize those (and there are many who do this regularly and successfully) who submit us information by not processing what they submit in a timely fashion.
Submittng information is easy. A bunch of coaches do it every day. A creditable person can be assigned to report the basic accurate information with first and last names (writing a story is not necessary) and send to sports@thecabin.net and we'll process that information as quickly as we can (although because of tight deadlines not likely in the next days paper).
We are processing info that is properly submitted as well as we has ever done. But we have limitations of time and staff. Always have. Always will. Every media outlet (TV, newpaper and otherwise) does nowadays.

well

If it were up to me, I'd say only cover the beach volley ball, and you don't even need to write an article. Just do a slideshow.

Also General is right. If

Also General is right. If they switched volleyball to beach volleyball, we'd have freelancer photographers falling all over each other for assignments. They'd probably do it for free

Really??

"They'd probably do it for free."

Is the qualifier of "probably" really necessary?
