Wrestlers, parents and fans --
I just wanted to take a second and tell you all about a new venture I am undertaking. This fall I will begin producing a weekly magazine dedicated to high school sports in the state of Kansas called Kansas Preps Weekly.
For the past 12 years I have worked in the newspaper buisness covering wrestling and prep sports for papers in Dodge City, Joplin, Mo. and most recently Salina.
Over the years I have developed a deep passion for high school athletics and hope to bring that out each week in my new magazine.
Each issue will be broken into six different sections with three pages devoted to each of the six regions (Northwest, Southwest, North Central, South Central, Northeast and Southeast) with game stories, precedes, features and statistics.
For those of you who know me, you also know I have a deep passion for the sport of wrestling. Over the years I have been restrained by editors when it came to full-blown wrestling coverage. Obviously, now I will no longer be restrained. Thus there will be a lot of coverage devoted to the sport wrestling. I won't lie, there will be a lot of basketball coverage, I have to sell subscriptions, but wrestling certainly will not take a backseat in my magazine.
The magazine begins production the first week of September and will be published each week (with one week off at Christmas time) through Mid-June.
Anyone with any questions, comments or in need of subscription information please feel free to contact me via e-mail at chris@kpwonline.com
I am in the process of building my website, which is
http://www.kpwonline.com but it is not yet completed or uploaded yet.
Sincerely,
Christian D Orr
Kansas Preps Weekly
