The TEN

(“The TEN” is not a top ten but ten items worth being included in “The TEN”)

1.) “‘Mid Valley Sports’ should be renamed ‘Mid Valley Boys Sports’ as it seems that’s all they report on. We’re starting playoffs for Spring season sports and the front page has articles on football passing league, football linemen competitions, football all-star games, college football recruit signings, and a listing of the baseball playoff games. Meanwhile, some of the best softball in the region is being played in the Mid Valley News’ backyard (Amat, Arroyo, Edgewood) and the girls just get ignored.
