Today I decided to visit the Baylor Lariat website to look for a story that I believed used quotes effectively. It took some searching but after a while I found an article over Bryce Petty that I believe hit the nail on the head. In the article, the reporter asked Petty questions about the football season and the main topic they covered was whether Baylor could win the Big 12. “Really, just a Big 12 championship, that’s what I want to do,” Petty was quoted saying in article. This a good quote for this story because people who support the Baylor football team want to see their quarterback having his eyes on the prize. “… As a team we really want to end it out right,” Petty again. This quote shows that the rest of his team is focussed on this championship and how they want to win it in the final year of Floyd Casey. “We know we are a good team,” Petty said. This shows confidence in our teams starting quarterback and is essential to put in the article. There are plenty more good quotes in this article I can list but I won’t trouble you with all of those. The main point from these quotes being put in this article is that it shows that our team has the right mindset and the confidence to go out there and reach their goal.

When it comes to me being quoted in a newspaper I say been there done that. In high school, after football games, we would have reporters come up to us and ask us stuff about the game. This happened to me at least twice and I felt comfortable with it. So, yes if the opportunity arose I would not mind being quoted in the newspaper.
