Front page in the news for North Carolina community! - Kai-V - Aug. 02, 2012
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:

A true success story for a whole bunch of people: Dark_Mousy, the World Beyblade Organization, the North Carolina Beyblade community, and Beyblade itself! Good job everyone!

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