The Citizen sports section is now, officially, part of the blogosphere.

To accompany the daily sports section, we will update this sports blog as often as possible. Our goal is to update, at the least, every day.

Hopefully blogging will become a habit and an addiction: When we're talking sports in the newsroom or when we're out on the court, we'll update the blog.

The blog's content will be totally unique. We will not copy any of the newspaper's articles into the blog, or vice versa. But that's not to say we won't write things on the same topic. If we're writing a preview for a championship basketball game for the daily paper, we might create a blog post with additional thoughts, quotes or snippets.

Essentially, the blog will be just another avenue to deliver Lakes Region sports news to the reader.

And here's the kicker: The blog is free. You do not have to be a subscriber to our website, citizen.com, or the physical newspaper to view blog posts. While the website might be going behind a paywall soon, this blog will not. There will always be free, unique and updated content here.

We encourage you to comment and give us your thoughts. If you have any suggestions regarding the paper, website or blog, please email us at sports@citizen.com.

Thanks for reading,
