CWU football deserves coverage

As longtime subscribers to The Herald, we are disappointed that we have to turn to other newspapers to find out about the Central Washington University football games. CWU is 10-0 and ranked No. 2 in the nation right now.

I know we are not the only CWU alumni in the region that are interested in this. There used to be a paragraph game summary in the paper, which was adequate, but now you need your magnifying glass to check the final score of the game, posted somewhere among the scores of all the other teams in the nation.

FILE — A mother holds her 8-month-old while a COVID-19 vaccine is administered in Hatfield, Pa., June 30, 2022.
