The Wakeland Wolverines are going strong as they wrap up their 2024 football season. From opening kickoff to final seconds, the athletes leave everything on the field, shattering expectations with their passionate play and resilience.
“If I had to describe the Wakeland season in two words? Absolute cinema!” said Turner Corey, WINTV senior lead photographer and sports reporter.
Few understand the dedication behind Wakeland’s success like Corey. A left-handed pitcher for the Wolverines baseball team in spring, he spends his fall evenings sprinting the football sidelines, matching the players’ strides as he captures their biggest moments. His work anchors the monthly Wolverine Replay on WINTV’s live stream, where his quick wit and casual reporting style have made him a natural lead since covering spring sports last year.
Through his Canon lens, Corey captures the gut-wrenching emotions and hard-fought victories that define this season. His photos – shared on his widely-followed Instagram (@_shotbyTurner_) – show the true grit of Wolverine football, told by someone who knows what it means to wear the uniform.
