Top local stories
Sorry ku lovers, but ku winning the national title wasn't the top LOCAL story. Was it the top story in the state of Kansas? Yes. But locally, I would think the Bowyer freaks would come out of the woodwork and vote for his Nationwide win. Me personally, I would vote for the ESU softball team making the national championship game again. They had a heck of a run.

KU needs a little help
averagejo (aka ku grad) -- First off, Cleveland State beat Syracuse, which beat ku.
And K-State didn't schedule those games against Kentucky, Iowa an Oregon to "lose them," just like ku didn't schedule those games against Syracuse and UMASS to lose them either. In fact, K-State was less than 15 combined points from beating Kentucky, Iowa and Oregon, and just didn't do it, so it wasn't like K-State was overscheduling.
You can't have it both ways. You can't criticize both tactics. KU fans blasted Snyder for his nonconference schedules (but conveniently forgot he played Iowa, Southern Cal, California among others), and then praised Mangino when he played one of the weakest noncons in the nation last year.

KU needs a little help
The real awakening will come when ku actually mans up and leaves Lawrence and/or the Sprint Center.

EHS wins Valley Center dual
Honestly, do we have to go over this every year? Here's the cold hard truth flex...no one, and I mean NO ONE, gives a crap about the JV wrestling team. You honestly think the gazette is going to dedicate any manpower to covering JV events? Not a chance, because once they cover one, then every whiny JV parent out there will be calling the sports staff up crying "whaaa, whaaa, why didn't you cover the JV girls basketball game" or "boo hoo, why didn't you cover the JV bowling meet?" JV sports are only there so the kids can learn and develop. Varsity sports are about winning and losing, and those are the ones the people care about. JV sports aren't going to sell any newspapers, especially not from people like you, flex, who probably don't pay for a subscription and just get it free online. So stop your weeping and wailing, because it's never going to happen, because (a) Varsity sports are the only one's that people care about, and (b) there's no time to cover JV events. Sorry, but that's the cold hard truth.

Lady Spartans withstand run from Olathe South, win 52-45
WOW! I believe this is a perfect example of a parent being a sore loser. Sorry there Olathe South mom/dad, but just because your daughter's got spanked by a very good Emporia team doesn't mean your team got cheated. Now, run along and cry to someone who actually cares. One thing's for sure, you won't have to worry about 6A state being held in Emporia because OLATHE SOUTH WON'T BE THERE!!!

All-Area Football team
I guarantee you that Northern Heights' QB Kenneth Bronson would start at most 11-man schools, big or small. He is a fantastic quarterback. Based on sheer passing numbers, he's one of the best in the state, plus, he also was more effective in the running game this season.
Listen, All-Area teams are based solely on individual success, not team success. The kids who have the biggest individual seasons (most often statistically speaking) are the ones who get chosen for these types of recognition.

Stanbrough makes all-state, EHS girls and boys finish 7th at state
Take it from a former "All-State" cross country runner (myself), it's legit. I don't know what else to tell you. Stanbrough isn't blowing smoke just because Jenna's his daughter. He had a squad of All-Staters on the boys side last year. Michaela Reynolds was an All-Stater as a junior even though she didn't win the title that year. Sheesh, it's not like he crowned her state champion or anything.

Really? You're really that concerned about this? As far as I know, it is a KSHSAA thing.

Stanbrough makes all-state, EHS girls and boys finish 7th at state
Um, Ralph, the term "All State" is appropriate here. As it goes in Kansas cross country, if you medal at the state meet, you are then considered an "All State runner". The top 20 runners make up the All State runners. So Coach Stanbrough wasn't just blowing smoke like you insinuated.
