Placed first
The league puts News at the head of both its menus, ahead of Schedule and Standings.
Its front page is marked Home (In-Season), which is a small nice touch: the site knows what time of year it is.
No individual articles render in the plain page.
A league on High Cheese gets a wire where finals post themselves as books are finalized and signings announce themselves.
