After Hayden Barber left in December for the Wichita Eagle, I thought to myself, “Well hell, that’s not going to be an easy spot to fill.” Hayden was great for us and in a lot of ways helped usher in a new era for this site of covering games, practices and press conferences in person.
But after days of searching and hours of due diligence twiddling my thumbs for a month and hoping somebody would show up to fill his spot, somebody did. We have hired Luke Garza to be our beat writer for this spring.
