2026 Sports in Kansas 3A Girls Player of the Year: Kailyn Hanni, Silver Lake Kailyn Hanni, also on the Top 5 all classes,  capped off an incredible career leading Silver Lake to another state title, finishing as one of the most complete players in Kansas. The 5’7 senior averaged 18.4 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.3 assists and 3.5 steals per game, impacting every part of the game while leading her team to a 100-7 record over her career with two state titles under Kyle Porter, the 2024 SIK all classes coach of the year. “We set a goal from the beginning of the season and worked hard and pushed each other all season to achieve it,” Hanni said. “This team played hard together each and every day and had joy through the whole process.” “She did a little of everything and has been overly consistent in every sport. The support from the coaches we talk to in 3A was overwhelming for her this season. ,” said Chet Kuplen of Sports in Kansas. “She’s quietly one of the state’s best multi-sport athletes, 3-sport all-state in golf, basketball, softball and the ultimate competitor.” Committed to Fort Hays State, Hanni leaves behind one of the most decorated and impactful careers in Silver Lake history. #sportsinkansas

SVP with a word on Gary Woodland

Gary Woodland is the anti-Tiger Woods in every possible way. Allow me to explain why. Gary Woodland just won the Houston Open by five shots. Two and a half years ago, doctors cut a baseball-sized hole in his skull to remove a brain lesion. He spent two nights in the ICU. There was a real chance he would wake up paralyzed. This is the best comeback story in golf right now and it's not even close. The full story behind today is insane. In 2019, Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach. He finished 13-under and beat Brooks Koepka by three strokes. At that point, Woodland had four PGA Tour wins including a major, and was ranked 12th in the world. Then everything slowly fell apart. After the 2023 Masters, Woodland became consumed by fear. Not regular nerves. Actual, debilitating terror. He was afraid he was going to die. Afraid something was going to happen to his kids. Afraid of falling to his death in his sleep. At the Memorial Tournament in June 2023, he woke up in his hotel room and clung to the mattress for an hour. He was convinced that if he let go, he would fall. His hands were trembling. He had no appetite. Spasms would jolt him awake at night. He was losing focus over putts. Forgetting what club he was holding mid-swing. An MRI finally revealed the cause. A lesion was growing on his brain. It was pressing directly on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety. Think about that. The thing responsible for every irrational terror he was experiencing had a physical, medical explanation. His brain was literally being pressed into a constant state of fear. In September 2023, Woodland had a craniotomy. Surgeons removed as much of the lesion as they could, roughly half, because it was pressed against the optic tract of his left eye. They cut off blood supply to the rest to try to stop it from growing. He walked out of the hospital two days later. Started putting again two days after that. He came back to the PGA Tour in January 2024 at the Sony Open. But he was nowhere near the same player. In 26 starts during 2024, he had three top-25 finishes. His best was a tie for ninth at the Shriners Children's Open. For a former U.S. Open champion, those are survival numbers. And nobody knew the full extent of what he was dealing with. Because on top of the brain surgery and the recovery, Woodland had been diagnosed with PTSD. He kept it hidden for over a year. He described being hypervigilant on the course. A walking scorer once got too close from behind and startled him so badly that his vision went blurry and he forgot where he was. He would go into bathrooms between holes and cry. He would break down in the scoring trailer after rounds. He would sprint to his car in the parking lot just to hide it from everyone. He said he felt like he was living a lie. Spending so much energy pretending to be okay that he had nothing left for the actual golf. On March 9, three weeks before this Houston Open, Woodland finally told the truth publicly. He sat down with Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and revealed everything. The PTSD. The crying. The fear. All of it. He said after that interview it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off his back. Then he showed up at Memorial Park. He opened with a 64. Then a 63. Then a 65. Then a 67 on Sunday to close it out. 259 total. A tournament record. 21-under par. Five strokes clear of Nicolai Højgaard. Wire to wire. Led every single round. His first win since the 2019 U.S. Open. Nearly seven years between victories. Brain surgery, PTSD, two years of hiding in bathrooms between holes, and a thousand pounds of weight he was carrying that nobody could see. This is a guy who was a basketball player first. He grew up in Topeka, Kansas, won state basketball titles at Shawnee Heights High School, and played a year of college basketball at Washburn before he realized golf was his future. He won the Courage Award from the PGA Tour in 2025. The seventh player to ever receive it. And now, at 41 years old, with titanium plates holding his skull together, he walked into Memorial Park three weeks after telling the world the truth about what he had been going through and played the best golf of the entire field for four straight days. The full breakdown of Woodland's career, the surgery, the PTSD, and how he got to this point is here: itsgame7.com/news/gary-wood… There is a reason this one hits different. Comeback stories in sports usually involve torn ACLs or shoulder surgeries. Things you can see. Things that heal on a timeline. Woodland's comeback was from something that rewired his brain. Something that turned his own mind against him. And the hardest part of his recovery wasn't physical. It was admitting to the people around him that he wasn't okay. Three weeks ago he said the words out loud. Today he won a golf tournament by five shots.

@AustinCEckert Exactly, wish we still had him

@jb3045 It was a bad throw, no doubt. Anyone that watched the whole game knew that he was keeping the team in it the entire time

Poor Jason Bean. Take away that first interception which wasn’t his fault and the fumble inside the goal line, Louisville would’ve won their game. Dude balled out.

Ready to hook ’em at the Summit 🤘🏀 Prior to her arrival for the @TexasWBB, 🥇 3x gold medalist @AddisonBjorn will suit up for the 2026 🇺🇸 USA @NikeHoopSummit team! 🎟️ USAB.com/tickets

@CUlsaker @derekjoiner A lot of schools have football class Where an actual class is film study

@derekjoiner Block schedules would just be 1 class. Would count as an elective class. Not sure what you would do if you do 7 class periods! Something to iron out.

Add athletic periods during the school day! Problem solved. Start practice at 2 instead of roughly 3:30.
