Greetings, from the WDN’s new Prep Editor

If I may, please allow me a quick introduction.
My name is David Felton, and I’m the new Prep Sports Editor for the Whittier Daily News. I’ve spent the last 12-plus years at the Long Beach Press-Telegram covering high school and junior college sports, and I’m excited to tackle a new challenge in a new place.
But I’m going to need your help. Being new to the coverage area, I’m not familiar with old rivalries. Names of legendary Whittier-area coaches and players will be foreign to me, at least at first. Even the geography is unfamiliar at this point, although that will change soon.
I welcome any and all input from the longtime WDN readers. If you have a news tip or story idea, send it my way. Same for comments – good or bad. My email is david.felton@sgvn.com. You can also follow me on Twitter and Tout at @dfeltonwdn.
I’ve met a few football coaches and ADs so far and hope to meet more soon. Special thanks go out to Whittier High AD Jim Marilley for his honest, unbiased breakdown of the Del Rio League earlier this week.
My goal in the next few weeks is to get out and meet as many coaches, athletes, parents, fans and readers as possible. Please feel free to introduce yourself if you see me.
And please, call me Dave.
