We’ve all heard the fairytale story of the high school athlete earning a full-scholarship at a Division I school, completing their degree and going on to be successful in whatever they choose. Unfortunately for the majority, the first step in that process isn’t a reality, but that doesn’t mean that they have to throw out the dream completely.
For golfers, soccer players and soon baseball and softball players, Century... More

If You Blinked…
St. Paul, MN
It’s not as if I’ve done a Rip Van Winkle…What do you mean “Who’s Rip Van Winkle?” Rip was that guy who supposedly fell asleep and woke up an old man. While I feel like I have the “old man” part covered, I hardly slept through the ’07-08 prep sports season. I just find it really hard to believe that it’s already coming to and end, and I wonder what... More

The VYPE Story
St. Paul, MN
The very first issue of High School Sports-The Magazine was published in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 2005. A group of people got together and decided that there was a market for a monthly magazine focused solely on high school sports. They tested it in the Tulsa market for a year before offering franchisees around the country.
The unique thing about the concept behind the magazine was that all of the... More

One Never Knows...
St. Paul, MN
I vividly remember years ago reading Sid Hartman's column in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune about a St. Paul kid who would periodically play baseball with the U.S. National team, with kids 2-3 years older than he was, yet he was considered the best catcher in the country for that age group. Sid said the kid had a rocket for an arm and could hit anything thrown at him. From time to... More

MOM - I DIDN’T MAKE IT!!
St. Paul, MN
Terrible words to hear but even worse when you have to say them, “Mom, I was cut from the team.” Devastation sets in! What happens now? The process starts out as a horrifying thought. “How did this happen? The coach must not like me. I was way better than that other guy, but his Dad was always talking to the coach.”
It can be a life altering experience and... More
