Obama's High School First In SI Survey. No Mention Of Ridgemont High


Barack Obama's high school, Punahou of Hawaii, was recently chosen as the school with the top athletic program in the nation by Sports Illustrated. This angered Hillary Clinton, who attended Maine East High in Parkridge, Ill., and John McCain, who was educated through oral tradition and cave drawings. Here are the state-by-state winners. More »

Hey Kids! It's ESPN Rise! (Kill Me Now)


Those old enough to remember the launch of Sports Illustrated For Kids know what fun is in store for America with ESPN's newest venture, ESPN Rise. It's ESPN's attempt to go after the high school demographic with content — including a magazine, programming events and even a presence on SportsCenter — aimed at 12- to 17-year-olds. Can't wait! Trey Wingo: "This one time, at band camp ..." More »

Moons Over My Prom-Y

For those reading who are teachers, it is that time of the year to volunteer your chaperoning services to one or more of your school's proms. There, your job is to make sure no one's hands fall below the belt line for illegal slow-dance fondling or, you know, make sure no students are having babies in the bathroom and depositing the slimey remains in the toilet.

Those Crazy Kids And Their Flying Machines

If they suspended the kid who spelled out "We Suck" in the opposing team's cheering section, we can't imagine what they'll do to a North Carolina student who almost crashed a plane into his home football stadium on a dare. More »

Your Booing Is Crushing The Souls Of America's Youth

I've never really thought of booing as something that could do much psychological damage... you play on the road, you hear it, and that's how it goes. The booers, in most cases, aren't making any sort of judgment on you or the choices you made in your life, they're booing because you're wearing colors than the home team. Really, it's not personal.

You Know What It Takes To Win High School Basketball Games?

A Maine high school basketball coach lost his job after he instructed each of his players to lay their hands on their crotch pickles. It's not quite as dirty as it sounds; he didn't do it in a Michael Jackson sort of way. Really, it was just a slight variation of "gutcheck time," just a little farther south.
"...the coach told his players that the Jan. 23 game against Mount Ararat "was about who had the biggest (male genitalia) in town," Hartnett said in a statement.

Tift County High Laughs At Your Super Bowl Shuffle

Tift County High not only has a football team of which they can be proud, but their music department is working overtime, too. Lil' Trill (also sometimes known as Josh Jordan) and DJ Freez are responsible for this beauty, and I think we should go ahead and declare this the greatest high school sports music video ever produced. Many thanks to Every Day Should Be Saturday for pointing us in that direction. More »

This Is Why You Should Wait Before Wetting Your Britches

The fine gentlemen at Kissing Suzy Kolber call this their favorite highlight ever, and I think it's worthy of the praise. It somehow combines the elements of great sports drama and extreme schadenfreude, all while providing a subtle social commentary on the importance placed on Texas high school football. More »

Wedgies Vs. Crack

Too few headlines feature the word "wedgie," and I thank Whittier Vocational Technical High School and the school administrators for helping to rectify that. A few players on the the football team are accused of giving wedgies to younger team members. And since that violates the school's hazing policy, they're going to be suspended. One student offered this opinion.
"It's a harmless thing everybody does and the people in school now all do it. It's better than doing drugs in school and that's the truth," said student Phil Blankenship. "At least they're not smoking pot or doing crack on the street corner waiting for the bus. They're just giving harmless wedgies."

Seriously. It's the Whittier Vocational Technical High School... what are we expecting from these kids? Administering wedgies is probably one of the more intellectual pursuits that these kids are involved in. If this kid takes it with a smile on his face, then I'm sure that the young Whittier students will be fine. More »

Hazing, Or An Endorsement Of Intimate Apparel?

When it comes to accusations of boys being forced to wear lingerie and drink hard liquor, I could really go either way. If it's Michael Jackson doing it, then sure, there could be some cause for concern. When it's being done voluntarily by high school baseball players... I'm probably OK with it. More »

Don't Worry, The Lojack Will Not Affect His 40 Time

Interesting story in yesterday's Washington Post about a high school football player in Maryland. The young fellow's name is Pat Lazear, and there's a lot on his resume: 6'2", 225, 4.6 seconds in the 40, he starts at linebacker, running back, and punter, and oh yeah, he's facing armed robbery charges for his involvement in a Smoothie King heist.

A Movie On ESPN That Might Not Suck

I'm looking forward to "Through The Fire," ESPN's documentary about the life of Sebastian Telfair during his senior year of high school. It won Best Documentary Feature at the 2005 Urbanworld Film Festival, the Audience Award for Best Documentary at 2005 AFI Fest, and was a Spotlight Selection at the 2005 Film Festival. More »

Why, No, That's Not A Crowbar In My Jersey


Now, we're not saying that high school football players are inherently cretins or Neanderthals or anything, but when your team photo has pictures of meaty dudes carrying battleaxes and crowbars, well, there's maybe a reason the guys from the A/V Club haven't been seen in a few weeks. More »
