Our student athletes deserve local coverage
For the second straight school year, The Lansing Journal is covering sports regularly at TF South, thanks to an ongoing partnership with the athletic department and coaches at the school. This kind of regular coverage takes time, resources, and communication. If you have kids or grandkids participating in TFS sports, or if you appreciate a newspaper that cares about covering the youth in our community, consider giving to The Lansing Journal today to support our important work:
Go REBELS I still say once Rebel alwayys a REBEL !
Carl (Herby) Dorris, although your comment is irrelevant to the subject of the post, I approved it because it gives me an opportunity to address your concerns and establish a practice moving forward.
First, you can be a Rebel as long as you want to be. No one is taking that away from you. All students who graduated from TF South before 2020 are free to consider themselves Rebels for the rest of their lives.
But the school mascot and nickname were changed in April 2022, so today’s students are Red Wolves. When we refer to TF South students, athletes, graduates, band members, scholarship winners, teachers, and staff, we will be calling them Red Wolves. This will in no way diminish your identity as a Rebel.
As we continue to publish stories about TF South Red Wolves, we will no longer approve comments that take the focus off current students and their accomplishments.
Great job everyone! Happy to see the local school sports in the journal. I have a question, will only Varsity teams be covered in future articles? JV Girl’s tennis also won, but they were not mentioned. Everyone did expectacular.
Hi Erica, we’re glad you’re enjoying the sports coverage. We’ve worked hard to establish relationship at TF South to make this happen. As for JV sports, our focus is indeed the varsity sports. However, if we do receive JV scores from coaches, we will publish them. Thanks!
