Default my two cents

Not including the editorial page, each day there is a limited amount of space a newspaper reserves for content like news, sports, press releases, human interest stories etc. This "news hole" changes daily based on the amount of advertising the advertising staff has sold for that edition. The sports editor doesn't know how much space he has until the day he is putting out the edition. (Newspaper staff works on Tuesday's edition on Monday, for example) With the number of clubs and organizations in The Villages; I can't imagine how the Daily Sun could possibly put in all of the scores, club news, happenings...

You are going to have to really lobby your cause with the sports editor, the executive editor and/or the publisher to have scores put in when they have space. Ask how you can present the information to make it the easiest for the sports department to get into the paper. Hope this helps. I have other suggestions if you are interested.
