Game stories give the highlights of a sports game and there are lots of components that Gisondi talks about. He says that there are five main things that sports stories should have:

• storyline- significance of the events and bits about the players involved
• basically just an overview of what happened
• context- key details, use the nut graph, not narrative
•  basic statistics
• quotes-comments from players/coaches of both teams
• quotes from BOTH teams
• all different players/postitions of the team
• quotes with analysis of the game
• key plays- important plays throughout the game
• score of the game 
• which team was winning or loosing throughout the game
• key statistics-stats of the game
• only important stats not random ones
• maybe even talk about the coach or team as a whole
