I think the main reason newspapers don't is because the nearest regional is in Washtenaw County (Ypsilanti, Great Lakes Regional). Not very "sensational" to say "Oakland County teams __ __ __ and ___ were at a regional and blahdy blahdy blah"
Not too hard to speak out about a regional, the only people that would care are the teams themselves, and yes, any coverage is good coverage, but it's hard for the general public to appreciate "6th place at Regionals." 6th Place in FIRST means you enter the eliminations, then again, you can also be in 40th and enter.
The layout of competitions is a bit to obscure for the general public to understand in a newspaper bulliten
