All around us the coronavirus is exploding. Hospitals in Wichita and Kansas City report ballooning admissions and fewer available beds in intensive care units. A number of schools across the state are making the switch from in-person learning to hybrid, or completely remote, teaching models.
With middle school winter sports underway, and high school sports bearing down, administrators and boards of education grapple with tough decisions.
It’s late Thursday morning and Brian Morris is heading down the interstate. Much of his day will be spent behind the wheel before finally pulling into the driveway of his own home, which is still two states away.
As Mammoth Sports Construction’s vice president of professional and collegiate operations, Morris is on the road a lot these days building relationships with the company’s growing clientele.
Forty-eight high school basketball teams in Kansas saw their season come to an unceremonious end in March as the decision was made to pull the plug on the state tournament after the quarterfinals because of concerns surrounding the spread of the coronavirus.
Tearful athletes hugged teammates, family, and coaches and mourned the loss of the semifinals and finals that ended without the chirp of a whistle, squeak of a sneaker or roar of a crowd.
For the first time ever the staff at Kansas Pregame is taking a look at the progress of the season in an updated digital edition of our popular football preview. Released prior to Week 5's action the revised digital magazine includes all the original content along with updated rankings and classification overviews for classes 6A through 8-Man II.
Find the updates at the intro to each classification section in the back half of the magazine and check out how our takes aged after Friday's action.
As Week 4 games get ready to kick off we thought it would be fun to offer some alternate cover options that take a look at a few updated storylines at the midpoint of the season.
Check out those alternate covers by scrolling through the images above or clicking on the link to the photo gallery below:
Look for updated season overviews, midseason rankings and additional alternative covers next week.
