To all the high schoolers so worried about making money — don’t miss out on high school.

Play in that tournament. Go out for that sport.
Be a kid.

- A message to Wichita’s senior athletes in fall sports: I’m sorry. I’m sorry that your hopes of a title, your dreams of a college scholarship, your plans to play with your family are over.
- After 20 years of covering high school sports at @kansasdotcom and @VarsityKansas, I'm going to be the Derby High journalism teacher.
- I was hugged by a basketball mom today. Want to know why? She appreciates what I do for VYPE. And that's simply for online coverage. People WANT high schools to be covered.

- Ted Anderson's family has asked me to share his story that I wrote. So many wonderful stories from so many people. For the emails, texts, interviews not fully included, I have shared all of them with the family. ksvype.com/ted-anderson-h…
