NOVA Legends Podcast: The Death of a Great Sports Page

Today I’m joined by Chris Jollay, founder of NovaHoops.com, to unpack the stunning news that the Washington Post is abandoning its daily sports page — and what that loss really means for local journalism, high school sports, and community identity across the DMV. Chris and I reflect on growing up with the Post sports section, the legendary writers who shaped generations of fans, and why sports pages once mattered far beyond box scores. We also explore how digital platforms like NovaHoops filled gaps long before this decision, why institutions still carry symbolic weight, and what disappears when trained journalists are replaced by algorithms, aggregation, and social media noise. This is a thoughtful, wide-ranging conversation about: The cultural role of sports journalism High school sports coverage and prestige (All-Met teams, rankings, recognition)The limits of AI and aggregation without on-the-ground reporting Why local sports stories — especially girls’ sports — risk being lost Whether this moment creates opportunity or permanent loss If you care about local sports, journalism, community storytelling, or where media is headed, this episode is for you. 🔗 Visit NovaHoops.com — the indispensable source for Northern Virginia high school basketball 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations on sports, culture, and institutions that matter #novalegendspodcast #washingtonpost #highschoolbasketball
