Big loss with no Rocky prep coverage

Say what you will about the closing of the Rocky Mountain News – the final edition is tomorrow after 150 years in business. But one thing that will be missed is its interest in covering the prep sports scene.
Scott Stocker has been doing that line of work for as long as I can remember. He started with his own publication, then joined the Rocky. More than most, he understands how important prep sports coverage is to a major metropolitan area and to the young men and women he's covered.
Sorry .. the Denver Post can't compare. The level of interest just isn't the same.
I've known Scott for a long time. Regardless of event, regardless of weather, Scott always has a smile on his face and a story to tell. And isn't it nice to be around people who thoroughly enjoy what they do!
I hope someone can come in and fill the void of good prep sports coverage left vacant by the departure of the Rocky Mountain News.
I really do.
