While the news lead told the five Ws and the H, the lead of a sports story (though not limited to one paragraph) must contain certain elements. When editing sports, check the lead for:
1. Who was involved
2. What happened
3. When
4. Where
5. Name of the sport
6. Score
7. How wonHow the game was won is usually the lead emphasis on a sports story. —Writing a Sports Story (Ellsworth Air Force Base)
