LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER Being a student-athlete tathleteisabouta is about a lot more than fun and games. Athletes also learn necessary life lessons. Often, high school athletes have higher grade point averages and fewer school absences than non-athletes. What they learn on the fi eld or court helps them develop a strong work ethic and self-discipline. These skills help them become more responsible and productive community members. Those attending local sporting events also benefi t. It doesn’t matter what community you live in, your faith or culture, or what team you cheer. All attending have a common bond. The bond shared is mutually supporting these young athletes in our respective communities. We cheer their persistence, preparation, and hard work, regardless of the color of the uniform they wear. We acknowledge that regardless of what side of the fi eld we sit on, attending a high school sporting event is an inspiring, family-friendly experience for us all. That’s why the Ames Tribune is honoring these student-athletes with its third annual high school all-star prep event. This event honors the top male and female high school athletes from Ames, Gilbert, Nevada, Ballard, Roland-Story, Colo-Nesco, Collins-Maxwell, and South Hamilton. Our sports department chose these top athletes with help from the coaches.
This event is our way of giving back to the sports community and athletes for all they have given us. We are especially thankful for the generosity of our partner DMACC, who helped make this event a reality. DMACC, along with our sponsors Ames Ford, Wild Water Car Wash, Iowa Pork Producers, and Fareway Meat and Grocery, helped add to the success of this event. Please thank them by supporting what they do, and thank you to the schools, community, and parents of these athletes for their support. Thank you to our subscribers for supporting the Ames Tribune. Because of your subscriptions, we can better serve our athletes. We will continue to be there coving these events in the rain, snow, wind, or sun. Our sports reporters are dedicated to making sure these student-athletes’ achievements do not go unnoticed. Because no matter what side of the fi eld you sit on, it’s our community’s common bond.
