Tom (can I call you “Tom”?): It takes a big man to admit a mistake and apologize – way to go, good job.

Husky: You may have been kidding, but I was going to suggest something similar – most of us do go to our kids’ games/meets etc. Why not share what we are able to see in person on this forum by giving a brief report with some quick highlights? I, for one, would be interested in getting a little more in depth reporting on Irvington and other East Bay programs from people who have seen the games.

hahaha Ballfan is not often I get the respect of being called Mr. Meyer. I do get called genuis sarcasticly all of the time. I guess I over reacted today and I apolgize.I will think before typing. For the record Steve Waterhouse is a good guy.

Husky Hank does Washington still use Hank The Husky as a mascot. I’m an alum of Wsshington and Hank was a lot of fun to watch at football and basket ball games.

Mr Waterhouse,
Irvington football didn’t get shafted. You did a good job of covering them… eventually. We’d just prefer for the eventually to come a little sooner for baseball, that’s all, heh, heh, heh.

I do have to admit that you had much better indepth knowledge of local football players than any of the other local writers. And you are right about Kennedy, watch out for Joseph Nagalee the next two years. And Newark’s Nick Pandorf is coming with two years of strong football offense.

Keep up the good reporting and we’ll see you at the Irvington games. You earned your hot dog and gatorade on me.

Cheers!

People, get a grip. it’s a sign of the times. Newspapers are DYING! They are constantly cutting back on staff and resources. You’re lucky you get ANY prep coverage anymore. don’t be surprised if it all goes away in the very near future, except for an occasional feature story like the Chronicle.

you think Waterhouse WANTS his page to look so incomplete and shitty? you don’t think he’d like front page stories with color photos?

You’re barking up the wrong tree. He’s the foot-soldier, carrying out orders. You want change, email the general. or better yet, call him.

but guess what, it’s not gonna matter.

fact of the matter is 99.9 pct of BANG’s sports writers couldn’t care less about Irvington girls tennis OR football.

it’s about supply and demand. prep parents want to see their kids name in print. no one else cares.

sad, but true.

if you want real coverage, start an online prep website and update it with your OWN box scores/standings. write your own damn columns. post photos of your own lil Johnny.

it’s the only way you’re gonna get the coverage you want in this day and age.

I’m doing what I can. Mark, sorry you think Irvington football got shafted. I think we had a writer at every single game. There were plenty of other stories out there too, like Kennedy’s first NCS win in school history, Washington winning its first league title since 1998 (I think, I don’t have the numbers in front of me) and Newark vouching for Logan to get in the NCS playoffs. While Irvington did a good job this year, lets give credit to some of the other teams. When Irvington made its run a few years back, we were all over it with features.

I will be at Irvington-Washington, Irvington-Logan, Irvington-Newark. Is that good enough for you?
