As you know, the landscape for local sports reporting has changed drastically since early 2017… and HobbsDailyReport is a new avenue and option for the fans of sports in the Greater Hickory area that have been following local news for so many years.
Chris Hobbs is the only reporter/editor who has been with you for all these seasons – year No. 44 is just five or so weeks away – and, at age 60, determined to stay active through at least 2020 in order to reach having reported on the area in six different decades (1970s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s).
