Full Circle!

By Terry Futrell

There is an old saying that “what goes around comes around.” So it is with my sports photography. In 1969 I took photographs for the Morgan County News for a short period. Now, 50 years later, my sports photography is once again returning to the pages of the Morgan County News.

With increased personal involvement in researching and developing the story of the Civil War in Morgan County, I thought that I would no longer be able to do game write-ups and planned to shut down the MorganCountySports.com web site. My plan was to continue to photograph games and make the photos freely available to players, their families, and fans via Faith Sports Photography on Facebook.

It now appears that I will have time to both photograph games and prepare some game write-ups as in the past. With the closing of the Morgan County Today newspaper, which has been the print outlet for my photographs for several years, I was graciously extended an offer by Goose Lindsay to cover games for the Morgan County News. I look forward to working with Goose and Emery Francis to bring Morgan County the very best sports coverage possible – local coverage by folks who have deep roots in Morgan County.

My photos will continue to be placed on Flickr for public access with links on Faith Sports Photography, and selected photos with captions will appear in the Morgan County News. Game write-ups will be placed on MorganCountySports.com and some will also appear in the Morgan County News. My goal is to cover one football game and at least one volleyball match each week  during the fall.

So, get ready Morgan County athletes – I’m coming to shoot you!
