KPTM Is Week 2 Winner
In High School Highlights Race

KPTM (Cox Channel 10) broadcast highlights from 17 high school football games Friday night, three more than its closest competitor, KETV (Cox Channel 9).

WOWT (Cox Channel 8) aired highlights from eight games, while KMTV (Cox Channel 5) covered three games.

"We planned for (highlights of) 18 games, but the game at Kearney was delayed because of rain," said KPTM sports director JJ Davis.

After two weeks of the high school season, here is what the Friday night highlight race looks like:

Have you seen some of the highlights from KPTM though? Oftentimes you can't even see the ball, and on some, you'll see missed catches and gains of 1-2 yards.

I think you need to be careful equating quantity with quality. I'd rather see good highlights from 10 games than bad ones from 20.

That being said, I was in fact watching KPTM last night, wasn't I? I probably won't in the future, though.

Mabey KPTM is on finally on the up and up. Would this have been possible 3 years ago?

Sean, This may be the lamest of your lame insights. What contest ? The one in your mind ? I guarantee KPTM will be the winner every week because they have made the choice to cover that many games.This is about philosophy and allocation of resources. JJ has made the choice to work his tail off for high school football,which fits with his philosophy. The other stations have made other choices, not to mention providing context and atmosphere to their coverage that 42 lacks. Its not a contest.Enough with your lame scoreboard. Man your blog is getting irritating.-
