In Sunday, July 29th's issue of the Goldsboro
News-Argus paper, a special feature was made: a whole article on Dark_Mousy's Blader Jam 7.0 tournament at the Tier Zero Gaming shop, and it appeared right on the front page!
The article describes Dark_Mousy's remarkable success in Beyblade tournaments, both as a participant but also as an organizer, and it tells about Beyblade in general as well as the World Beyblade Organization. Other Members like Axel Phantom, DefStamina88 and Smallfry were also interviewed.
Without further ado, here are scans of the article, showing the section that appears on the front page as well as the rest of it published on a whole page inside the newspaper:

I have had 2 people criticize me for Beyblade. 1 was someone on Facebook. The other was an Ex Girlfriend.

He wasn't at the Championships. He recognized beyblades from the plastic days and from spinning tops from back in the day.
