Tonight, for the first time in more than 20 years, I'm not sitting in a press box covering opening night of the high school football season. It's weird. It's bittersweet. And yet somehow, the time is right to hang up my sporstwriting cleats with the Kokomo Tribune.

HUGE shoutout to @elwoodpanthers1 for doing such a FANTASTIC job hosting sectional! Took great care of media, officials, coaches and players. Nice work! Hope you get to host many more.
