The November athletics calendars at Duke and North Carolina Central are full of games beyond the usual men's basketball spotlight. Women's basketball, volleyball, soccer and Eagle football all have active schedules.

Our view for Durham

We think local media, businesses and fans can do more to recognize the full range of athletes representing Durham. That does not require pretending every program draws the same audience. It means giving readers accurate schedules, meaningful results and the occasional deep story about a team they might otherwise overlook.

What we want to see next

Pick an unfamiliar sport or team and attend when you can. Media attention follows public curiosity, and curiosity can start with a single local game.

For the underlying facts, consult the original public record or reporting. For more coverage, visit Bull City Citizen, our Opinion section and read our continuing North Carolina election coverage.
