MUSKEGON – Every year, when it’s still very hot and sticky outside in the midst of summer vacation, the veteran reporters from MuskegonSports.com begin interviewing area coaches and players to produce our annual high school football preview section.

We will be at it again in the next few weeks, because the season is only about 10 short weeks away (believe it or not!) and the football preview is a big project!

You can help MuskegonSports.com keep the tradition of the football section alive by purchasing a “high school football booster ad” that will be published in the preview section.

The ads are for businesses, organizations, families, or individual fans to show their support for Muskegon, Mona Shores, Reeths-Puffer, Fruitport, Oakridge, North Muskegon, Whitehall, Montague, Orchard View, Ravenna, Muskegon Catholic, Holton, Hesperia, Muskegon Heights, or any of our other area squads.

For $25, your ad will go on the school team page of your choice. For $80 it will be published on every team’s page, to show your support for the young athletes all over the area. A lot of companies like that option.

A company’s ad might say something like “Mabrito Motors LLC, 3615 Heights-Ravenna Rd, Go Bulldogs in 2022!” (The great folks at Mabrito – who are huge fans – always order an ad, so we thankfully use them for an example).

For families or individual fans, the ad might say something like “Good luck to the Sailors this season from the Jim and Martha Bailey family, your No. 1 fans!” or “Go Rockets! Good luck from all of your friends in the Class of 23!”

Your ad could be more personalized, as well, saying something like “Good luck to #88 Graycen Shepherd and the rest of the Whitehall Vikings!”

Whatever message you want to publish!

The simple and inexpensive ads are very popular. The players, coaches and their families read them, and the revenue goes a long way toward helping us cover the expensive (and rising) production costs of the football preview.

To order, just send a check for $25 (for publication on one team page) or $80 (for publication on all team pages) to Muskegon Sports LLC, 77 Elm Ct, Muskegon, MI 49445. Please include a note with your name, contact number, the team you support, and the short message you want published.

If you have any questions, please email [email protected] and we will get back to you.

We will acknowledge the receipt of your order, double-check the message you want to be published, and get to work on the football preview section!

In the meantime, enjoy your summer, and we will be ready when you turn your attention to high school football in August!
