Varsity Letters The Fairbury Journal-News

Sports are not about scores. Sports are not about statistics. Sports are not about numbers. Sports are about the athletes who push themselves to the limit, physically and mentally; the coaches who inspire and motivate; and the fans who show up to cheer on their beloved teams. In short, sports are about people. Nebraskans love their sports. They love football and basketball and baseball and track and volleyball and much more. Now here is a chance to go behind the scenes, to relive those glorious victories and heartbreaking defeats and learn the stories of how they happened. Sports has been a part of Jefferson County's identity from the earliest days. The Fairbury Journal-News established the award-winning feature, Varsity Letters, to profile the locals who make it happen.
