A message from KSHSAA. Please read and watch!
There is no doubt, we have an official shortage and need the help of those who employ officials to help recruit new officials. In previous years, teachers made up a large number of our officials, that number has dropped dramatically. Coaches used to officiate sports they didn’t serve as a coach in order to give back to students. Schools want to continue to have teams be able to compete, but we need officials in order to have the games.
Please consider showing this video to your students, teachers, parent groups or anyone you feel has the characteristics to be an official. “Without officials it’s JUST RECESS.”

After graduation she plans to attend Allen County Community College and pursue her associates degree in music.

When asked what advice Phoebe would give to underclassmen it would be, “Don't let people challenge what you know to be true and right. If you have values, if you have thoughts and beliefs, then stand up for them. It doesn't matter who it is, no one has the right to make you feel that your thoughts or ideas or beliefs are insignificant. You are worthy of your feelings and you have every right to shut down anyone who tries to directly put them down. YOU are your OWN person.” Congratulations Phoebe! Keep working hard to achieve your dreams!

For the final meet of the regular season, a trip south to NE Arma always serves as an opportunity to compete against schools we don’t regularly see. In some cases, the competition level pushed us to be our very best and to continue building on previous skills. Taryn and Alexis once again paced the girls team by medaling in all of their events. I can’t say how proud I am of them and their drive and desire, day in and day out, to compete for the tops spots. The boys also set several more personal records across the throws, jumps, sprints, and distance races which has now brought the season total of personal best performances to 80. The growth at all grade levels is incredible and while some are starting to wrap up their high school careers over the next few weeks, others are only just beginning to find their place in it all. Next on the schedule is the Flint Hills League meet at Osage City on May 14th.
