Mark Dent of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS has the miraculous story of Dallas high school cross country runner Taylor Lively.

Lively, who as a senior at Lake Dallas High recently qualified for state, thought that the incredible pain he’d endured during training for many years was a natural occurence felt by teammates and competitors.
Boy was […]

We’ve all wanted to go back in time at certain junctures in our lives: I often imagine myself traveling back to 2002 to try and talk some sense into Dusty Baker before Game 7 of the World Series. Or just to be sure, go to 1975 to prevent Livan Hernandez from being born. But here’s […]

It’s the only high school football snack bar that sells autograph pens. At any given game you may seen Joe Montana, Wayne Gretzky, Will Smith, or even Tom Cruise in the stands. I attended an Oaks Christian High School game last season and it’s actually kind of hilarious: The real Hollywood High.

You probably know by […]

Back in 2003, Montana high school pitcher Brandon Patch was struck by a line drive from an aluminum bat in his temple during a game. Patch would die from the injuries four hours later; his family, quite understandably, eventually filed a lawsuit.

Their lawsuit, however, wasn’t against staff at the game or anybody else who was […]

This season, we’ve seen two new and unexpected ways for high school games to end on missed field goals. There was the “blocked field goal returned by the kicking team” and the “missed field goal so short the other team spikes it with totally disastrous consequences”. Suffice it to say, that’s about all the madness […]

Don’t remember seeing anything like this before. Quarterback Will Briscoe of Central High School in Louisiana converts a two-point conversion against Zachary High by completing a behind-the-back pass:

Am I late to the party on this? I don’t remember seeing anything like it previously. Hard to believe though that it would the first behind-the-back football pass […]

Well this is cool. The CADILLAC (MI) NEWS reports that ESPN is filming a segment to air on either SportsCenter or Outside the Lines that will detail the rock band KISS visiting Cadillac High School in 1975.

Vikings football coach Jim Webb confirmed Friday that an ESPN crew asked permission to film the homecoming game Friday […]

I don’t know how to say this so I’m just going to say it: A Boise, Idaho high school basketball coach was arrested on Monday for masturbating while walking through a Costco store. So you may ask, who doesn’t get aroused while shopping at Costco? But that’s why one should always carry the large bulk […]

One of the few problems MMA faces in gaining acceptance among American culture is that it’s, to the untrained eye, virtually indistinguishable from a common brawl. “Okay,” the person thinks, “they’re just taking swings at each other with their shirts off. And now one of them is bleeding so game over.” There’s plenty more to […]

John Glenn-Westland High had never beaten Plymouth in the history of the two schools, but finally had a chance to do so with a 33-yard field goal attempt on the last play of their homecoming game last week. And … it’s blocked. Too bad. Well … wait! The ball never crossed the goal line. Pick […]
