Who's the best

The January magazine's lead feature will be a reflection on the fall football season. It was truly a season to remember. For the first time since 1978, five teams within 50 miles of Wichita made the state title game; three won it all, the area's most since 1982.

I'll also be naming my Top 11 players for the 2007 football season in the area. These will be my selections, based on what I saw this season. I'll also name groups of juniors and sophomores to keep a lookout for next season.

Beyond that, we're trying some new things in the magazine. We'll have feature stories on high school rodeo and hockey, with sidebars on synchronized skating and car racing. Also, we're trying out a new idea: we've interviewed five different groups of friends in the area, athletes who hang out at a certain spot. We will print photographs of them at their hangout with a short writeup in the January magazine. Does anyone have a special hangout, or do you have any off-beat ideas for features in the magazine?

In February, we're planning a huge wrestling section, in preparation for state. So be ready, wrestling community.
