The Tega Cay Sun is excited to welcome Chris Coffee as its new sports reporter. With a passion for photography and a love for sports, Chris brings years of experience to the team, having photographed numerous sporting events around the Fort Mill area.
Chris and his family moved to Fort Mill in 2017 and quickly became part of the community. “We moved to Fort Mill in 2017 and absolutely love the life and friends we’ve made here,” Chris shared. His oldest son, Cole, began at Fort Mill High School, where he was a member of the marching band. When the district realigned in 2019, Cole transferred to Nation Ford High School. Andrew, Chris’s youngest son, recently graduated from Nation Ford, where he was part of the championship boys lacrosse team.
Now empty nesters, Chris and his wife spend their free time traveling to visit their sons, hiking, trying new recipes, and enjoying time with friends. “While photography is not my career, it is a passion of mine, and I have years of experience taking photos at sports events and more. I’m looking forward to applying my journalism and photography skills here with the Tega Cay Sun.”
You may have already seen some of Chris’s photos and stories in the last few weeks as he covered local high school games. Below are some of his awesome photographs showcasing his unique ability to capture the energy and emotion of sports.
When Chris isn’t covering a game at one of Fort Mill’s high schools, you can find him sharing his work on social media, including X (formerly Twitter) under the handle @CapturedTales and on Instagram at @sports.by.kohee.
The Tega Cay Sun is thrilled to have Chris Coffee on board and looks forward to the engaging sports coverage he will provide for the community.
