The Tim Fletcher Show wants to do all it can to make sure our local athletes get the coverage they deserve so they have a better chance of being offered a college scholarship.
Having student journalists work on their skills while promoting their school and athletes is a good partnership, which is why we founded JAWS! Journalist Aspiring to Work in Sports.
One student will represent their high school and will get the opportunity to gather with kids from other schools that share their passion for sports and journalism. Hopefully the input from 21-year veteran of sports journalism, Tim Fletcher, will help each student hone their skills.
Every week, JAWS members will be covering their high school football team and the hype that builds through the week to each game. At the end of football season, students will receive recognition that will enhance college applications, as well as a recommendation letter from Fletch.
After reviewing the students entire body of work, some may achieve our excellence award in student journalism. It's early in the process, but a scholarship is in the works as well for one who truly excels.
If your school is interested in participating, please pass the information along to your principal or a teacher or email us at GETFLETCHSPORTS@yahoo.com
We are only accepting one student per school.
