Varsity Kansas - The Blog

This is an interesting topic that I bet I’ve answered hundreds of times, and will answer it hundreds of more in my career.

Let me first say, we don’t prefer one team over another. We don’t cheer for Team A and cheer against Team B. We don’t prefer specific athletes and hate others. Seriously.

When it comes to coverage, we do try to spread things out. For instance when I cover volleyball, I don’t want to focus on just one team. That’s boring for me and boring for the readers. I like to talk about multiple teams, so imagine my happiness at Northwest’s success in volleyball. What that did for me was give me another legitimate team to write about outside of Kapaun and Carroll.

There are some schools that will get written about more often — the successful ones. Such as East and Bishop Carroll football, Kapaun golf, Andale football, Heights girls basketball, Carroll girls basketball, Circle volleyball, Derby girls basketball, Garden Plain football. That’s just naming a few.

But we really try to hit different teams and athletes, not focusing only on football and not focusing only on the City League. Just look at our Getting to Know feature, which has featured a variety of athletes of different sports from a variety of schools. We don’t write about everyone, but we do try.

If you have a story idea, let us know. It might be something that’s possible to write about.
