Guidelines on How to Submit a Story

  • The team or individual can be from any Lane Tech sport or newsworthy activity.
  • The story can be for any time period past or present.
  • Try to be as accurate as possible. Although we understand that in accuracies sometimes happen and a correction will try to be made. If an error is found the correction can always be made at a later time
  • Try to give specific names of players, coaches or teams. Try to write full names, but if you don't have a full name then at least try to give a first name.
  • The write up can be about anything on the individual or sport. Use your creativity but try to document  and remember as much as possible.
  • Stories can be submitted anonymously or you can submit the author's name.
  • The more you can edit the submission so it is ready to publish the better. Remember most of you attended Lane and so you are supposed to be a "Lane Brain."
  • Try to include electronic versions of relevant pictures or videos of the story,  if you have it.
  • If you have no idea on what to submit the following are some recommended items to submit:
  1. Name of Sport (e.g. varsity football)
  2. Year of Sport or Time Era   (1993; or  early 1990's) 
  3. Your name (e.g Greg Smith)
  4. Your role on the team if any (fullback for varsity team)
  5. Coaches names ( e.g. Rich Rio, head coach)
