In today’s Mining Journal, look for the first three of nine high school and college banners appearing in The Mining Journal this week.

These Mining Journal page-sized banners are in school colors for eight high schools in Marquette and Alger counties along with Northern Michigan University.

Banners for the NMU Wildcats, Marquette Redmen and Redettes and Negaunee Miners are included with today’s Journal.

Thanks go out to area businesses for sponsoring the publication of these banners. Their names, logos and related information appear on the back of each banner.

In subsequent days this week, banners will appear for the Ishpeming Hematites, Westwood Patriots, Gwinn Modeltowners, Republic-Michigamme Hawks, Munising Mustangs and Superior Central Cougars.
