The Varsity is where Central Illinois prep sports come to life.
We’re more than highlight reels and game scores—we’re storytellers, sideline shooters, and hype-builders for the next generation of hometown heroes. From Friday night lights to midweek matchups, we capture the raw emotion, energy, and pride that define high school sports in Bloomington-Normal and the surrounding area.
Whether it's a buzzer-beater, a breakout season, or the quiet grit behind the scenes, every athlete has a story—and we’re here to help tell it.
Founded on the belief that high school sports are some of the most formative chapters in a young person’s life, The Varsity documents those moments with cinematic visuals, photo galleries, and community-first coverage.
This is your game. Your story. Your legacy.
Be the hero—we'll handle the highlight reel.
Charles Green is the founder of The Varsity and a passionate visual storyteller who’s called Normal, Illinois home since 1992.
As a longtime creative and content creator, I’ve spent years capturing the energy, emotion, and unforgettable moments that define high school sports in Central Illinois. Through photography, video, and storytelling, I aim to shine a light on the athletes, coaches, and communities that make prep sports more than just a game.
At The Varsity, I’m not just covering sports—I’m helping tell the stories of young people becoming heroes in their own right.
