History
High School Sports The Magazine was founded by local businessman, Lynn Mitchell in early 2005 with a desire to cover all sports in the high schools around Tulsa, Oklahoma. The first magazine went to print in August 2005 and continued its success. In August 2006, innovative entrepreneur Kevin Hern of KTAK Management Corporation purchased High School Sports The Magazine, L.L.C. and quickly launched magazines in markets such as Oklahoma City and Fayetteville, Arkansas.
With the boom in high school students participating in sports, more interest was gaining each month.
The magazine underwent a re-branding to VYPE High School Sports Magazine in June 2008. VYPE is a mash up of Varsity and Hype and is an online community of athletes, parents, and fans at VYPE.com.
