Each year, the Greater Detroit Camera Club Council (GDCCC) holds a fundraiser competition—and this year’s competition is now open for entries!

Hello all,

Some of you know I have been working on a DigitalFilm Documentary about my old High School in Athens, MI.

3+ yrs. Today I finished it and it is up on my YouTube channel.

A link below. It covers the years Athens Baseball from 1906-1912, with an overall record of 65-2 with in that from 1909-1912 4 state championships, record 42-0!

1st State of Michigan HS Baseball dynasty. In addition I made a case to the organization MaxPrep (historically capturing HS sports in the USA since mid 70’s) I found they have a Mythical Nation HS Baseball Champions list from 1910 to current. I made a case to them for the Athens 1910 team and they replaced the team who had been there for years with the Athens Team.

Run time 30 min

Due to lack of photos, I created AI comic depictions from newspaper accounts of games and situations.

Hope you like it!

It’s a shareable link if you know anyone who might be interested in the story!
