Prairie Advocate Sports

Since this is typically a slow time of the year for sports, the Prairie Advocate is asking for your help. With school out for the summer and no sports other than the Carroll County summer leagues playing, we are asking for your assistance in finding suitable sports news to add to our sports pages until school again resumes with fall golf and football taking the center stage.

If you have a child or grandchild playing in any sporting activities, take your cameras along to the games and snap some photos for us, or write a short article for submission in our sports section. We’ll be more than happy to credit you with your name in the paper under your photo or next to your articles.

As we can’t possibly be everywhere at once to cover events or give coverage to things we aren’t aware of, help us out and let us know what you’d like to see in our sports pages. If you have an idea for a story you think would be newsworthy, let us know. As always, I can be reached Monday through Friday at the Prairie Advocate office at (815) 493-2560 or by email at .

Thanks for your readership and we look forward to providing you with the best possible coverage week to week.
