Local Sports Fans: Help Patch!

With the spring sports season getting underway, we're calling on all Minneapolis City Conference fans to help us provide the best coverage possible of and games.

How can you help? If you're at a game, email a quick recap to local editor James Sanna at James.Sanna@Patch.com. You can also email photos you snapped, as well as feature story ideas.

Speaking of photos, you can skip the whole email thing and upload them directly to Patch right here. We'll make sure to feature the best ones we get.

You can also interact with us via Facebook and Twitter, if that's more your style. We just want to know what's going on in the Southwest Minneapolis sports world, and we want to get it from the source—you!

If you're a really big fan and want to get even more involved, consider starting a blog on Patch. Email James.Sanna@Patch.com for more details on that.
