It has to be so tough to be a student-athlete in the social media era. The way adults turn on kids on this platform is so sickening. To student-athletes of all ages, if you are doing your absolute best, it's good enough, that's all you can do! Ignore the keyboard coaches!

No one wants to take games from kids. The changing variable is the explosion of the virus. The people charged with these decisions are not faceless, nameless tyrants, they are Kansans. Offer feedback, propose solutions, but remember, this is unprecedented. BE KIND! @KSHSAA 🙏🤜🤛

There's a few kids out there hurting today because of a stumble or bad start, or maybe a late throw or missed chip. Remember, your performance this week does not define your athletic career. If you gave it your all, did everything you could, left it all out there, that's enough!

Just some friendly reminders as we begin postseason 🏀: - over the back is not a foul, quit saying it. - 3 seconds goes away once the shot goes up, player gets a rebound still in the lane yup, 3 seconds starts again - reaching is not a foul, how else can someone steal it?
