Larry Porter Retires From The World-Herald
Longtime high school sportswriter and prep rater Larry Porter retired from the Omaha World-Herald Sunday after more than 40 years with the newspaper.
After 14 years of writing about high school athletes and coaches, Porter switched to the hunting, fishing and outdoor recreation beat when Gene Hornbeck announced his retirement in May of 1990.
In 1985, Porter was one of three Nebraskans to be honored by the National Sportcasters and Sportswriters Association for excellence in sports journalism.

Porter will be missed. Great journalist (and a Kearney product!) and good guy.
Porter was a great guy and will be missed. Unlike Obbop -- who somehow uses a thread about Larry to bash Harold Anderson. Another great post from the immigrant hater
The boys at Prep will be most upset, now they actually have to earn their way into the sports rankings. He may be from Kearney, but his ratings heart lies with Prep all the way. Good riddance!
Geez, 3/29 11:49 a.m. anonymous - Porter hasn't done ratings since the days when Prep was the only school in Omaha recruiting. You're probably still bitter that the Dodgers left Brooklyn for L.A., Truman defeated Dewey and the North beat the South in the Civil War.
I can't believe I am able to say this, but you've just made Obbop appear intelligent...a most dubious distinction.
What we DO know is that this article has NOTHING to do with your immigrant rant. Take it elsewhere.
Obbop...the next time you have a thought -- just let it go. It's not yours to begin with, and you obviously don't know how to handle it. Leave the thinking to those of us capable of dealing with something that, obviously, is way over your head.
Larry Porter was a great asset to the WH and will be sorely missed. I enjoyed his columns and can only hope that the WH places that spot in capable hands. Best wishes Larry.
