 PARTS OF A SPORTS NEWS STORY
Because a sports report is news, it must have the part
of a news story namely, the headline, the lead, and the
body.
• 1. HEADLINE- Use the appropriate sports lingo. Don’t
forget the total score.

•Undesirable: Central Philippine University softball players

defeat Holy Trinity College softball players.

•Preferred: CPU sluggers rip HTC batters, 15-5

• b. The Key Play Lead
• c. The Outstanding Player Lead, and
• d. The Analytical Approach Lead
