Review of Basketball

This piece has too many problems that prevent me from recommending it for broadcast. It contains rough micing in several spots, poor levels and it's too long to keep the listener engaged. I am a big fan of youth work, but without a good edit, both for content and length, it's not presentable for air.
I do like LaShauna's personal reflection on why she likes basketball and the use of tape from both her brothers and her mom. I also like the use of ambiance.
With some editing, this would work well as a drop-in to Weekend America, Only a Game or a local magazine.
