Hunt Every Day: The Life of a Student Athlete

Hunt Every Day: The Life of a Student Athlete

Author: SLHS Lions' Roar Student Newspaper October 21, 2022 Duration: 35:17

South Lyon High School senior and Lions' Roar staff member Braden Fracassi discusses with senior running back Tommy Donovan their current football season, the enjoyment that comes from being involved in athletics at school, and the difficulties it poses as well. Thanks for tuning in!


There's a distinct energy that comes from a high school hallway, a mix of aspiration, uncertainty, and raw opinion that rarely makes it to the front page. Behind the Roar captures that sound directly, moving beyond the printed word of the SLHS Lions' Roar Student Newspaper. Each episode is built from conversations with the South Lyon High School student body, giving a voice to the diverse perspectives that shape the community. You'll hear unfiltered discussions on everything from local events and school culture to the broader issues that teenagers are navigating today. This podcast serves as an audio companion to their written work, delving deeper into stories with the people who live them. It’s a chance to listen in on the genuine dialogue happening in the halls, cafeterias, and classrooms. For a fuller picture, the team often encourages exploring their web articles, but here, the focus is purely on the spoken word and the authentic voices behind it. Tune in for a direct line to what students are really thinking and talking about.
