This is really great news! Great job by @goody_scott and all registered officials in Kansas for promoting and helping our numbers! No where near where we were 12-15 years ago HOWEVER GREAT progress is being made. Let’s keep it going!
The number of registered high school sports officials grew by six percent during the 2024-25 school year, & an eight percent increase from pre-pandemic numbers, according to a recent NFHS survey of member state associations. Check out the full release! 🔗 nfhs.org/stories/survey…
Part of the team behind the teams right here! Tyler specifically was instrumental in the state T&F meet. A lot of planning. The first to arrive each day (at 5am). WSU athletics did a great job helping us put on a great meet!
Shoutout to Kayla Jost, Brad Pittman, Tyler Good, Bobby and Trish Gandu and countless others who made @WichitaState the perfect venue for the @KSHSAA Championships ⚾️🥎🏅
I'm excited the membership wanted to move in the direction of putting classes together which allows for multiple classes of state title games to be played on the same court on Championship Saturday! The atmospheres will be electric! So many moving parts - kudos to all involved!

48 years at one spot! Choosing to attend Cloud and run for Coach Kitchener and Coach Schmitz along with being around Coach Muff was one of the best decisions I ever made. Congrats on a phenomenal career, Coach! You are one of a kind! #CloudTrack | #BackTheBirds

For 17 years, Greg Sharpe spoke past the microphone and into our hearts. His legacy will be woven into the moments he narrated and carried on through the relationships he built. We are deeply saddened by Greg’s passing and send our deepest condolences to the Sharpe family.
