We’re putting the finishing touches on our 2026 Fall Sports Keepsake, publishing this week in the Dresden Enterprise and The Martin Post, and publishing it this week! We need the community’s help finding these last few items:

• Dresden Middle School football team photo — the copy we have is too low resolution for print
• Greenfield Middle School football team photo
• Greenfield Middle School cheer team
• Greenfield High School golf team photo
• Martin Middle School soccer team photo — the copy we have is too low resolution for print
• Westview golf team pic. I have a photo of the girls, but not one of the boys. I'd prefer a group pic.

If you have any of these, please message this page as soon as possible, or email me at [email protected]. For photos, please send the original, full-size image if you have it, along with the photographer’s name and any names available for a caption.

Thank you for helping us include these teams in a section families can keep!
