The Echo is a weekly paper therefore most of the time the sporting events that are covered and written about are published a few days after the game. Because of this it is best not to put the score of the game in the lead as it should already be known to the readership. Find unique ways to write the lead.

 

Example: Bears fans throughout the stands gnawed the tips off of their fingernails late in the game Saturday night as junior cornerback Anthony Gambles saved the game with a high-flying interception.
