Navigating The Sports Report: The entrance is Today, which sets the table with what’s on TSR and what’s coming, and what’s worth taking another look at, stuff to read/view you might be interested in, assorted FYIs, who’s playing that night or later in the week, and other items that make it worth checking a few times a day. And those best times, after early in the morning when you get to work, are around lunchtime and around dinnertime. While, of course, also checking the site. This Week’s Coverage is today and this month, and Recent Coverage is after that, with an archive. Archived are pages are High School Scoreboard and Alumni Update (with future archiving tweaks to come). Updates will be noted in Today and in stories or columns when necessary, so you know.
