Ames Tribune - Sunday, May 27, 2018
LETTER FROM THE PUBLISHER No matter whatt community you’re in, there is one common love: high school sports. Nothing builds camaraderie like watching your local sports team compete. That’s why the Ames Tribune brought back last year’s high school allstar prep event. This event honors the top male and female high school athletes in Ames, Gilbert, Nevada, Ballard, Roland-Story, Colo-Nesco, Collins-Maxwell and South Hamilton. Representing more than 18 sports, these student athletes were voted among the best. These top athletes were chosen by our sports department with help from the coaches. High school sports can be demanding. A lot of these athletes spend many late nights working to be faster, jump higher or hit farther. This event was our way of recognizing their hard work and achievements. These athletes go on the field, court, green or whatever their preferred battlefield is, to be the best. Each one of these athletes that has been chosen has felt the joy of winning and the sting of losing. Each one has risen above a loss and learned how to be better. Tennis legend Billie Jean King said it best: “Sports teaches you character, it teaches you to play by the rules, it teaches you to know what it feels like to win and lose-it teaches you about life.” High school athletes have entertained us for years as we watch and cheer them on. As fans we talk about games before they are played. Afterward, we talk about the outcome.
We shake our heads at calls and stand in the final tense seconds as the clock winds down. It’s enjoyable to watch these athletes represent our town as they go head to head with the best. This event is our way of giving back to the sports community and athletes for all they have given us. Starting new events are never easy. It takes long hours of preparation and help from local businesses. With generous help from our sponsors we were able to make this dream of honoring these top performers a reality. Thank you to the schools, community and parents of these athletes for their support. The Ames Tribune is dedicated to our schools and athletes. Thank you to our subscribers for supporting the Ames Tribune. Because of your subscriptions, we are able to better serve our athletes. We will continue to be there covering these events. Our sports reporters are devoted to making sure the achievements of these student-athletes are known throughout the community. To the athletes, thanks for all you do and for representing your community so well. We will always be there to cheer you on and share your success. In the words of basketball great Michael Jordan “Just Play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.”

Now his boys’ team is joining in. The Little Cyclones captured a state title in February, their first since 1982, to complete the sweep.
