The writers in our area are Bower and Durkin. Waterhouse is also one hell of a writer who also used to cover the area (BRING HIM BACK!). This 30 Questions segment is the brainchild of the CCC writers, if I’m not mistaken, and was once on the sister site to prepcorner. Once the season starts we’ll hear more from Bower and Durkin and then we’ll get our share of information, seeing as how they do such a great job. Don’t expect it to come out of the 30 Questions segment.

It’s true that there has been more Contra Costa stuff on here than Alameda (and by the way YVFan08, this isn’t just the Contra Costa Times. It’s also the Oakland Tribune. The two papers are merged and worked together). But the difference isn’t quite as dramatic as Junkie displays. If you count the fact that No. 14 was a two-parter, with one part going to the HAAL and one to the MVAL, there have been five focusing on Alameda County (I’m including the post on the ACCAL as Alameda since the main focus is Berkeley). Then there are five I’d classify as nuetral, meaning they are about a broad topic or mention both CC and AC teams. Yes, there are 13 that are exclusively Contra Costa so it’s still fairly imbalanced, but more like 13-5-5. But it is what it is. There’s a lot more writers that work in CCC than in AC and so you’re going to read more about them. My guess is once the season gets going, you’ll see plenty on here about Alameda County because Bower and Durkin tend to blog quite a bit.

There is nothing on the west side of the East Bay hills that seem to matter anymore. OAL, HAAL and MVAL coverage has been a joke on here and I think it will be obsolete in the future. They should just take off ''covering Alameda County'' on the page and be done with it already. Why fake it? Hey High School Sports Junkie, I'm with you all the way. This is the only place I know for high school information. Are there any other places online out there?

YVFAN08 check your cigs, if they look a little green that would explain your comment

Well since the name of the paper is Contra Costa Times you would think that most of the coverage would be from CCC, or is my logic just out of wack?
