Understandably, Northwest Guilford softball coach Jason Tew had a few other things on his mind before returning my call after his team was bounced from the playoffs with a 10-0 loss at North Davidson last night.
"There wasn't a dry eye in that last team meeting," Tew said.
I had conceded Tew's call for the night and was in my kitchen cooking some pasta when my phone rang around 11 p.m.
"Sorry I'm just getting back to you now," Tew said. "Wish I had better news to report."
Not wanting to lose the story or my dinner, I scrambled around my kitchen drawers for anything with which to dictate.
The only thing I could find was a box of crayons and a "Memo from the Desk of The Assistant to the Regional Manager Dwight K. Schrute" notepad...which allowed me to unconventionally take down Tew's comments and sneak this in today's paper.
