Sad to see coach Carpenter go. He was incredibly kind and always made time for me during my time at the Daily Citizen.

Rare AP Stylebook L

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

A team losing a game is not a "disaster."
Home runs are homers, not "dingers," "jacks" or "bombs."
A player scored 10 straight points, not 10 "unanswered" points.
If a football team scores two touchdowns and the opponent doesn't come back, say it "never trailed" rather than "never looked back."
In short, avoid hackneyed words and phrases, redundancies and exaggerations.

Friday personal news dump:

Today is my last day at the Dalton Daily Citizen.

It’s been a great pleasure to cover sports in and around the Carpet Capital for the last nearly five years, starting as sports editor and then as managing editor for the last few months.
