Longtime Philadelphia high school sports writer Ted Silary passed away on Thursday at the age of 72.
Silary was the voice of high school sports in Philadelphia for many decades, working for The Philadelphia Bulletin and then The Philadelphia Daily News, and then eventually starting his famous TedSilary.com. His website famously had anything and everything you needed to know about high school sports in the area.
This website was the Mecca for Philly high school sports. I think I became Farmers insurance customer at one point because I saw the logo on Ted Silary's website so much. pic.twitter.com/v1WVEALs2Y

The Philadelphia sports world reacted to his passing on Thursday.
RIP the great Ted Silary. If I've talked to 700 Philly hoops people over the years, 500 brought up Ted's name. Ted was so generous with (post-retirement) ideas. Pre-retirement, he was fiercest of competitors for all us Inquirer folks. He could have covered anything, chose HS's.
