Last week, we asked you how you would like us to cover our local sports teams in our newsletter. Here’s what we found:

  • 37% said game dates + score recaps
  • 35% said a little bit of everything
  • 15% said human interest pieces on players + coaches
  • 13% get their sports news elsewhere
  • 0% were interested in Q&As with players + coaches

We value your feedback and appreciate y’all taking the time to inform our content. We’ll be sure to continue including game dates in our Events section + scores in our News Notes section. We’ll also plan to continue our season previews like we have for the Lexington Legends, Keeneland, and Lexington Sporting Club.

We’d also love to know where you get your sports news. Is it the team at KSR? A local TV station or newspaper? Let us know.
