Big High School Sports Fan? Blog About It on Patch
The fall sports seasons for Oak Forest high schools are just around the corner, and Patch is looking for a fan's perspective. Find out how you can write about your favorite fall sport.
With the beginning of classes comes the beginning of the sports season, and Patch is looking to add some fan voices to the site this fall.
We're looking for bloggers for the fall sports season to give us their perspective on athletics at Oak Forest, Tinley Park and Andrew high schools. You can be a student, a parent or just someone who follows a particular high school fall sport.
The only real requirement is that you're interested and enthusiastic about the sport you're writing about.
