Reporting here centers on high school and college games, championship results, athlete career milestones, and the facilities and programs where local sports take place. Coverage runs across Fort Myers and the communities around it wherever a game or athlete story crosses the line. Spring training and the Southwest Florida tourism calendar bring a seasonal surge in coverage that the rest of the year does not match. Facility funding and the availability of fields and arenas are the constraints most often behind local sports stories.
