@AdamZagoria Just came across this, and really appreciate reading a story about Flagg that’s about more than what he can do on the court/isn’t rife with stats. Thanks for showing what print journalism can do.

Exclusive on @njdotcom Cooper Flagg wasn't born a basketball star. In fact, the nation's top prospect was lucky to have been born at all nj.com/sports/2024/02…

@StillMikeBarber So sorry to hear this. Hoping you find the perfect new spot.

Hardest post to write, which is why I've been putting it off: The past 22 years covering college sports in Virginia have been the greatest time of my life and the fulfillment of a dream. I can't say thank you enough to our readers for all the support. I will miss you all...

@WalkByFaith_24 😠😠😠

Yeahhhhhhh they gonna ban court storming because y'all wanna be reckless

@Jim__Sacco You’re awesome, Jim! Thanks for you kind words, and for all you’ve done for our industry and our paper, too!!

@bencates8 😭😭😭

Gonna miss this woman with my whole heart. Emily gave everything she had to this newspaper every day. She wasn’t afraid to go after a tough story and she has a real love for #LNApreps land. Wishing her the best and am so happy for her, with tears and all.

@JFHSsports Grateful for all the chances to showcase your great coaches and athletes!!

Many thanks to Emily for all of her coverage of JFHS Sports during her time at the N&A. You will be missed! 👏

@TheSportsBuffet You’re the best, Bob! Never stop being your optimistic self. Such a pleasure working alongside you over the last several years, getting to tell the stories of the athletes and teams you also care so much about!

I think journalism is a dying breed, but Emily breathed life into it. I think the word media is viewed as ugly in this world. Emily was a definite Cinderella in writing with the stories she wrote to humanize people and just show them in their role. Emily is a rockstar.

@lynhornets You guys are awesome! Thanks for being great to work with. It was a true honor to write every story I did about some incredible people.

We want to take a moment a give Emily Brown a very special thank you for all her hard work covering Lynchburg Sports! Her stories showcased our student-athletes, coaches, and campus in special ways, and we’re grateful to have worked with her! We wish her all the best. #WonNation

@VTCody Thanks, Cody!! Loved that our paths crossed every once in a while. You’re awesome.

I’m just now catching wind of this and it’s a huge blow to the industry. Emily is as talented as they come and has provided a lending hand more times than I can count. I always enjoyed running into her at postseason events. Best of luck with what’s next. We’ll be rooting for you!
