This is one of the most impactful speeches delivered by the Pope.

He just received a 7-minute standing ovation for affirming the dignity of human life, from the moment of conception to natural death, in front of the Spanish Parliament

"The defense of human life is neither a partisan issue nor a confessional interest: it is a goal of civilization."

"Can a community that casts into the shadows the unborn child, the elderly, the sick, those who suffer in silence, or those who depend entirely on the care of others be called fully just?"

Watch.

2026 Sports in Kansas Girls Defensive Player of the Year (All-Classes)

Sevy Wurtz, Clifton-Clyde Sr.
Addisen Wills, Halstead Sr.
Bella Bouddhara, Andover Jr.
Emily O’Brien, Remington Sr.
Hailey Schmidtlein, Hayden So.

Five of the top defenders in Kansas, representing all levels of the state while showcasing elite defensive impact regardless of class.

The Defensive Player of the Year selections are not done strictly by classification. Instead, we select five players statewide as part of our All-Classes Defensive Team.

Our process/criteria/guidelines guarantees representation across the state:
• At least one player has to be from large schools (6A/5A)
• At least one player has to be from mid-sized schools (4A/3A)
• At least one player has to be from small schools (2A/1A-I/1A-II)

The remaining selections are awarded to the best overall defensive players in Kansas, regardless of class.

This allows us to recognize elite defensive impact at every level of the state while still honoring the very best players, no matter where they play.

Full bios and interviews to follow tonight and tomorrow.
