Good article. You may want to through some of his HS Football accomplishments in there as well if its just for the local paper since that town is Football crazy anyway. Great job regardless.
Yes "throw" thanks infough. f7 has ruined my spelling.
JennyCraig, I got a couple of them. I just got back from my weekend wedding thing at the compound. I was happy to make it out of there without the ATF shooting me or burning me out. Koresch says hi.
Not always Buff. Paragraphs separate individual points or ideas. A paragraph can be as short as one word or run the length of multiple pages. I appreciate you looking at the article, though.

I dissagree with ji32. Since the article is for a newspaper using "legendary" sounds better. If it was for an MMA site then maybe something like "highly touted" would be better suited. Legendary should draw more interest.
"The winner of the bout could very well earn a title shot against UFC light heavyweight champion Chuck Liddell."
Id be very surprised if that happened anytime soon for Heath even if he wins. But I understand the purpose of the sentence, even if it isnt laden with truth.
