Sports Town Pittsburgh
The Final Post - Sports Town will cease operations in October, 2017
Written by Ken Wunderley on Saturday, 26 August 2017 5:05 am.
Below is a message from Sports Town Editor Ken Wunderley.
In 2010, Tri-State Sports & News Service and Pittsburgh Post-Gazette teamed up to form the Sports Town web site. Sports Town provided excellent coverage of all high school sports for 6 1/2 years.
We were fortunate to have McDonald's as our sponsor during a six-year run, but the corporation has decided to end its sponsorship.
After an unsuccessful three-month search for a new sponsor, the Sports Town web site will cease operations in the near future.
The web site will be shut down at the end of October, so feel free to go back and find any posts or photos that you would like to save.
I would like to thank all the writers and photographers who contributed to Sports Town, especially writer Brad Everett (my right-hand man) and photographer Marilyn Schwilm. The full list of writers and photographers who have contributed over the years are listed below.
I also would like to thank McDonald's, for its six years of sponsorship, along with the many high school coaches, athletes, and fans who visited our site. Your support is greatly appreciated.
And lastly, I would like to thank Post-Gazette Executive Editor David Shribman, for giving me the opportunity to head up Sports Town, and Post-Gazette Assistant Managing Editor Matt Kennedy, for all his help with creating the web site and overseeing its operations.
I am currently working on a WPIAL and PIAA history site. My hope is to find a sponsor and unveil the site on Oct. 1. I will keep everybody updated on my progress.
