Pursuit & Perseverance
Louisville, Kentucky
Collegiate athletics were the highlight of my college experience. While the days, weeks and hours I invested into rowing may have drained me physically, emotionally and psychologically, I could never imagine college life without sports.
Collegiate athletics made me a better student, athlete and friend. My teammates became my family for nine months of the year. We practiced, traveled, lived, cried and grew as young women together. We spent... More

Central Oklahoma
When Rafe Watkins took over the Guthrie Football program, he thought his days of sharing athletes were over.
He was wrong, and he couldn't be happier about it.
"I jumped from 2A up to 5A, from 200 students to 1,000 students," Watkins said. "I thought I'd have 50-60 kids working out over the summer, but..." The coach trailed off, his point already made.
Welcome to Guthrie... More

Road Trip Conversation Bridges Age Difference
Western Arkansas
I’ve got the gift for gab, always have. I take after my grandpa, an old farmer that never met a stranger. He’d sit on a bench in the mall with a bag of caramel corn and chat with other seed-corn clad fellows he just met. He was also on a first-name basis with most of the baggers and checkers at the local grocery store. Like my grandfather, I also like... More

Western Arkansas
Now, more than ever before, teams on Friday nights mirror the philosophies and strategies of those that play college and pro football.
The receivers nearly outnumber the linemen, split across the line using all of the field's 53-yards in width to do so. The quarterback sometimes gets lonely in the backfield, usually only accompanied by a single back. The linemen rarely put their hand on the ground, instead... More

Hot Eats/Cool Seats
Raleigh - Durham, North Carolina
After the game, there’s nothing better than going out with friends and family to celebrate a win, relive the big play, or commiserate with other fans when the game doesn’t go your way.
A traditional post-game staple is the classic American cheeseburger. To properly review what local restaurants have to offer, I sampled six cheeseburgers over the course of the last month.
