Hey Sports Fans! It’s another great day at Sports Scene.
It’s hard to believe another school year is in the books. I can’t believe that Sports Scene just completed its fifth year in existence. When we first started this venture into high school athletics, no one gave us a chance to make it through one year, let alone five. We did it with flying colors, and I would like to extend a friendly handshake to everyone who has been along for the ride since day one.
A big shout-out goes to my right-hand man Scott Keyes for his vision and dedication to making Sports Scene a reality for the past five years. He keeps the ship afloat. Sometimes we might not see eye-to-eye on things, but in the end, Scott keeps us moving into the future. Thanks for all you do.
Also a special thanks to Butch Harmon, John Raffel, Alan Holben, Gary Williams, Jeff Chaney, Lori Ingalls, Paul Hornak lovely wife Tina, and all of the other hard workers on the Sports Scene staff for continuing to prove that Sports Scene provides the most in-depth coverage of high school sports in Michigan.
I want to also give thanks to the many distinguished advertisers that keep us afloat every month. If it wasn’t for what you do, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do every month.
Finally, I also want to throw out a big congratulations to Heritage’s Brian Cole (University of Michigan) and Swan Valley’s Alex Grace (Western Michigan University) for giving their verbal commitments for college. These two young men will grace the cover of next month’s annual Sports Scene’s Football Preview along with Ithaca’s head coach Terry Hessbrook. Hessbrook and the Yellowjackets will begin their Drive for Five Aug. 29 against Clare.
Thanks again for another special year.
