I spent late summer, fall and the early winter of 2012 in Dallas. While a job as Director of Media Relations with the Texas Legends (the Dallas Mavericks' D-League affiliate) brought me south, that quickly morphed into covering high school sports for and expanding the social media presence of The Dallas Morning News.
While with The Morning News, I was grateful for each and every byline. They are the truest currency in this business, and they bring even more satisfaction when they come in the face of a deadline. Each of the selected below fits into that category — some composed and submitted in roadside Denny's, grateful for the free wi-fi; some composed and submitted via phone, grateful for the wonder of 3G; some composed and submitted from various ISD press boxes, grateful for the patience of local high school volunteers.
