I don't know about you, but it is hard not to get excited about fall. Actually, I’ll ANY fall day over those dawg days of summer…Any day. Why? Because the weather cools down, school is back in session, businesses seem to revive, people are refreshed, people are moving around, going to this town or that town for a school function or event, it’s just great. I know the traveling part can be hectic if you have active kids or student athletes, but you get the point. What I’m trying to say is fall is exciting, and I think you will feel that excitement in this issue.
For many of us, that same fall excitement equals one thing— FOOTBALL. I’m talking knuckle in the dirt, shoulder pad poppin, blood, sweat and tears excitement of Americas #1 sport, and what Crawford County has embraced as the “Football Capital of Kansas”. Crawford County is indeed the Football Capital of Kansas, and we have you covered in this issue. If you never read an article again within these page, please be sure to check out the 2012 football preview (and the “themed” emphasis of this edition) by our own Mark Schremmer. It’s been a lot of hard work and to be honest, I’ve been giddy about putting this together for a looong time. So to finally have our own preview of all our Crawford County high school teams, as well as our defending Division II National Champion Pittsburg State Gorillas is a personal dream come true.
Thanks as always to all of our contributors within this issue. And please let them know you recognized them within our pages!
Good luck to ALL our area teams, wishing you a safe and successful season whether you play football, volleyball, run cross country, debate, band…Anything. Lets go!
GO CHIEFS!
