Only two teams will be bringing a quarterback to Big 12 Media Days next week. Kansas obviously was not going to be one of those programs, though it is surprising to see how few signal callers will be in attendance. KU head coach Les Miles has yet to name a starter, and he does not have to commit to one player under center anytime soon. At the conclusion of spring ball, however, Miles did admit that Thomas ...
Just because Free State’s volleyball team has a familiar face at the helm, doesn’t mean there won’t be any changes to the program. Jayme Savage was named the FSHS volleyball head coach this past spring after serving as an assistant with the program for nine years.

Quinlan was the first leg on a 4x400-meter relay team that took second at the state meet. Coach of the ...
Athlete of the Year: Evann Seratte, Lawrence Seratte placed in four events in her final meet, but a fall in the 800-meter run kept her from doing even better. Seratte still scored more points at the state meet in her career than any other athlete — boy or girl — in program history.
