Last Leg
Houston, TX
It’s time to tighten the laces as the Cinco Ranch girls and Seven Lakes boys enter their regional and state races.
Both teams are senior-laden and have a big–three leading their respective teams.
“This is the best group I’ve ever coached,” Cinco coach Kristi Robbins said. “These girls have been together since they were freshmen and all they know is success. If we can come together as a... More

Ahead of Schedule
Houston, TX
Katie Messing may only be a sophomore, but The Woodlands 6-foot-4 middle blocker looks like the most experience player on the floor every time she plays a match.
That may have something to do with her participation in club volleyball, or her innate competitive spirit, but whatever is, it is helping the Highlanders immensely this season.
Messing has been playing volleyball for several years and for the last three, she... More

GP Soccer
St. Paul, MN
Tartan High School captured a part of the boys soccer Classic Suburban Conference title for the first time in their 36-year history. Head coach Caleb Drexler-Booth has led the program since 2003 when the Titans came close to being champions, but fell short earning the runner-up spot. The Titans have to share the title honors with St. Thomas Academy, but that hasn’t taken anything away from a dream come true... More

GP Soccer
St. Paul, MN
A triumphant season full of promise came to an end a bit prematurely in early October as the Hill-Murray girls soccer team fell prey to a tenacious unit from White Bear Lake in the Section 4AA semifinals.
The 3-2 defeat — technically classified as a mild upset as Hill-Murray was seeded second in the section, with White Bear Lake third — brought an end to a successful campaign that saw... More

Golf and Tennis State Wrap
Central Kansas
Wichita’s private schools were well-represented at girls state tennis and golf in mid-October; its parochial schools led the way. Kapaun Mount Carmel placed in front of Bishop Carroll in both Class 5A tennis and golf, taking third and second, respectively.
Individually, Megan and Maddie Schulte placed second in 5A doubles for the second consecutive season, as Megan finished up her prep career. Maddie, a sophomore, returns in 2009. Kapaun... More

Dance, Dance
Central Kansas
Not stepping foot into a Maize Eagle Fly Girl practice in five years, I was unsure of what to expect. First things first, a lot of change; something I did anticipate.
Coming from a time when being a fly girl was a new thing to do, dance is now a legitimate tag and an activity to be reckoned with. Years of transformation have taken place. Their wholesome approach... More

Not Your Typical Go-Karts
Central Kansas
Despite loving cars as a kid, Brian Stuart wasn’t ever a big racing fan. In fact, he had no interest in the sport at all.
That all changed 12 years ago when he and his seven-year old son got tickets to a NASCAR event at Talladega. His son was instantly hooked. So, of course, dad was too.
The two then went to a go-kart race in Winfield. The next... More

A Many-sided Spectacle
Louisville, Kentucky
The logistics could be overwhelming for some people. Where to park 48 buses, 11 semis, 37 trailers and trucks, eight converter buses (old school buses that have been redesigned to haul band equipment), and over 400 cars? Where to put 4500 visitors? But for Charles Stewart, the band director at Ballard High School, it’s all in a day’s work. A day’s work that takes a year of planning.

Energy Drinks…
Louisville, Kentucky
Energy drinks are hot—there are more than 600 options on the market. They can be found at gas stations, coffee shops, convenience stores and grocery stores.
But will they boost your athletic performance … or just shrink your wallet at their high cost?
Here’s the deal:
Energy drinks are loaded with different ingredients, each purported to have different effects on the body. The “mainstay” of most energy drinks is caffeine—with... More

Another notch for the Tigers' pole
Louisville, Kentucky
The St. Xavier golf team continues to rarely miss a beat, or a key putt.
Led by individual winner David Payne, the Tigers added to their record total of boys’ state titles by winning the KHSAA State Golf Championships October 10-11 at Bowling Green Country Club.
St. X’s 17th state title was its first since 2004, and its first under Dan Utley, who replaced long-time coach Marty Donlon this... More

Multi-Tasking
Fort Worth - Denton, Texas
The band takes the field for the halftime show. Its members are dressed in their traditional and formal band uniforms, except for Mark Fitz. He stands out. He’s in uniform – his football uniform.
Fitz, a junior defensive lineman for the Fort Worth Eastern Hills High School football team, doesn’t spend halftime in the locker room with his coaches and teammates. Instead, he plays the trumpet with the band.
An... More
