Gather all the information you have(avoid making it up, speculating or being biased!). Depending on your style and the stlye of the paper, pick a suitable tite. Sumarise the details, leave only key facts. Put quotes and estimates to the end of the article. For more tips go to various articles on the internet. Best of luck. C.

No one ever does this, but this is how I would like to see a sports article written.
At the top of the article write the names of all the athletes you are going to elaborate about and what sport they play. Beside each name include how much money each athlete got in the past season for playing their particular sport. Or, if the athlete is not getting paid, as in high school sports, what benefits they receive for playing. Then mention what each athlete you include has contributed to the betterment of the sport or to sportsmanship.
Then explain how each athlete performed statistically in the last event they played. Never include the use of the word 'ironic' unless you use an actual example of irony. Never relay what a particular athlete 'feels' about the game.
There, that would be the perfect sports article!

The best place to go for your answer is the newspaper's sports editor himself. He will tell you exactly what he wants.
