With the feel that there is a lack of coverage on the diamond sports at our other web site, http://hovpen.rivals.com we hae opted to begin this one, Hovpen Diamond Sports, to fill the gap in that coverage.  This site will provide year round coverage of baseball and softball including listing of profiles, coverage of signings by various colleges and junior colleges in our coverage area which has yet to be defined but should most definitely include Kansas and surrounding states.

 

In operation on the Internet since 1996, HovpenSports.com looks to cover Kansas High Schools, bringing you the best state wide coverage on the net. Here, you may find previews, reviews, and even leave your views on the state of the sport.

Bob Hovey, (Hovpen, because keyboarder, or typewriter just doesn't fit on the shirts) has been in sports one way or another since the mid 1960's, as a player, official, coach, athletic director, scout, and sports editor along with being publisher of this web site.

You may not always agree with me, but I will tell it as I see it, with no sugar coating. Take it to the message base, but be civil because I carry a big ax and it can fall easily. I don't care for anything pro, my bag is the high school and small college athlete, that's what this web site covers. We'll do mostly the high schools, but on occasion will venture into the junior college ranks to photograph andvisit with up and coming Division I stars of tomorrow.

In order for this web page to stay online, we need the help of the fans. Send us what you have and it will appear. That is, send us your ideas for stories, even if you wish to write one on one of your top players.  Our other site, Hovpen.rivals.com did not support the diamond sports to our satisfaction so while still keeping that site for football, we have unleashed this one for the players on the diamond.
