What a year it has been around the north end of the county for local sports.

There have been so many great memories during the last school year.

We are just a few weeks away from the end of the school year.

To all those student-athletes around the area, congratulations.

The NFL Draft has come and gone.

For many of the players that were selected, it was a dream come true as they their hard work was worth it.

Student-athletes’ personal development is in the hands of the coaches that we put in place.

With the right coach, they can turn around a program and make it a consistent winner, leaving it in a better place than they found it.

We are officially heading toward summertime.

The sun is out until nearly 7:30 p.m. every night which means long gone are the days of cool mornings and afternoons as those have been replaced by humidity for the entirety of the day.

I am always amazed by what high school athletes can do.

Athletes in this area are constantly breaking records and setting new heights for themselves and it is fun to watch.

How do we define success in sports?

Is it just who has the most wins and losses at the end of the season?

What is in a number?

For many athletes in sports, their jersey number means a lot.

Welcome to the middle of March.

As you read this, the NCAA tournament is in full swing. Legends will be made across the country because of buzzer-beating shots and classic performances.

I have attended two different track meets in the last two weeks.

Even though they started at the same time, they had two different results.
