Oakland County, including the OAA lost a Great Pioneer of Sports Writing.

Written Saturday April 30th at 10:00 AM

High School Sports throughout Oakland County, including the OAA lost a pioneer in sports writing in Keith Dunlap.

Dunlap was the MIPrepZone High School Sports Coordinator for the Oakland Press but the newspaper on Friday made budget cutbacks and Dunlap's job was one of them that was cut.

A lot of people, including teams have came out and supported Dunlap through Social Media like Facebook and Twitter.

Dunlap worked at the Oakland Press for 15 years as High School Sports coordinator and writer for the newspaper.

It is unknown where Dunlap will be at for his next job but he is always reliable, committed, and hard working. I personally think the Oakland Press Upper Management made a mistake for letting him go, no one deserves to get their job cut but whomever gets him is getting a great man with great talents.

We'll see what happens but today Oakland County High School Sports and the OAA lost a great pioneer and a great man due to cost cutting moves.
