The EUP Sports Den

07/25/2025

I had hoped to never be in a position where i had to post this letter, but here we are.
Dear visitors, supporters, community members, and athletes:
We hope this message finds you well.
It is with a heavy heart that we announce the closure of The EUP Sports Den, effective immediately. Despite our best efforts and the incredible support from our community, we have been unable to secure the necessary sponsorship to continue the website.
Since our launch in 2023, we have worked passionately to bring you up-to-date sports coverage, insights, and community engagement. It has been an incredible journey filled with memorable moments and a shared love for sports. However, the rising operational costs and the absence of consistent financial backing have made it unsustainable to move forward.
For the past two years, it has been our sincere privilege to spotlight the incredible talent, dedication, and sportsmanship of high school athletes in our communities. We have been honored to share your stories and celebrate your achievements.
To every student-athlete, coach, athletic director, parent, and fan who followed and supported us – THANK YOU. Your passion for high school sports inspired everything we did. We are proud to have played a small part in recognizing the hard work and success of so many outstanding young individuals.

While the website will no longer be active, our social media pages will remain operational for the time being for any updates or final messages.

With Gratitude and respect,

- Scott Church

Pickford high-jumper John Anderson clears the bar at 6-7, which was good for both the Pickford school record as well as the Upper Peninsula record for Division II. Anderson’s record-setting performance was part of a Pickford team win as well. 💯👀🙌🎙💻
