It’s getting tougher to play the recruiting game as a high school athlete.
Between the transfer portal, Name Image and Likeness deals and roster limits at the Division I level that all but eliminate walk-on opportunities, athletes in high school who dream of one playing a college sport are finding it tougher to find a home.

The future of junior college athletics is on the brink of change after a court ruled in favor of Vanderbilt quarterback Diego Pavia last month.
Pavia filed a lawsuit stating his NCAA eligibility time should not be impacted by his years at the junior college level. He’s now set to get an extra year of eligibility.

With the start of a new year, perhaps it’s time for the FHSAA to try something new with weightlifting.
Nothing wrong with the sport overall, but the structure of the regions could use a makeover.

We are a week away from Christmas and are sitting at two weeks until 2025, and me, I’m here trying to wrap my mind around the fact that time has flown by like a sprinter.
Fall sports are history, winter sports still have a couple of months to go and spring sports teams have already started conditioning.

There were enough fights in college football over Thanksgiving weekend to make a day at the hockey rink look tame.
All those flag plantings on the field riled up the losing teams, who might have won their games had they shown that much fight and emotion during the game.

The temperature had dropped at least 10 degrees as the final minutes of a special season for the Pace football team neared its end.
Here in Gainesville, on a chilly evening in late November, the Patriots had just lost possession of the football off a fumble and now all that was left was for Buchholz to run out the clock in a Region 1-6A semifinal.

I hope you all are taking time to enjoy Thanksgiving week and are taking a break from the madness of the daily grind.
I can tell you I am certainly doing that after months of bouncing around football fields, golf courses, gyms and more.

Flipping commitments is a common thing in collegiate athletics. An athlete might decide in July that North Carolina is the place for him to play.
And then a few months later, an athlete might say, ‘I’d rather take my talents to Auburn or Alabama.’

Great job Central. You won a football game. That’s a big deal.
