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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“the future is simply nothing at all. Nothing has happened to the present by becoming past except that fresh slices of existence have been added to the total history of the world. The past is thus as real as the present.”
—Charlie Dunbar Broad (1887–1971)
“No one can understand Paris and its history who does not understand that its fierceness is the balance and justification of its frivolity. It is called a city of pleasure; but it may also very specially be called a city of pain. The crown of roses is also a crown of thorns. Its people are too prone to hurt others, but quite ready also to hurt themselves. They are martyrs for religion, they are martyrs for irreligion; they are even martyrs for immorality.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“One classic American landscape haunts all of American literature. It is a picture of Eden, perceived at the instant of history when corruption has just begun to set in. The serpent has shown his scaly head in the undergrowth. The apple gleams on the tree. The old drama of the Fall is ready to start all over again.”
—Jonathan Raban (b. 1942)
