MI Fall, HS Ball (Lansing State Journal)

September 4, 2012

One of the newest additions to the Lansing State Journal is its Michigander section, which each week highlights great reasons to enjoy life in our home state.

And last week's section declared what we've always felt -- that high school football is weaved into our communities, both big and small. 

The Michigander section has a photo-blast layout that immediately draws readers, and like most any online product that's lost some in reproduction. But the message is the same -- and we're big fans of it.
