What's up sports fans! I'm Frank Sulkowski. I'm Sports Director here at WJCL/Fox 28. Here in the Coastal Empire and Low Country they call me "The Big Guy". I came to the coast in January 2006, but I'm no stranger to the area. I graduated from Georgia Southern University back in 1997. Since then I've worked throughout the state. I've done sports in Albany, Macon, Statesboro, Atlanta and now here in Savannah. I played college football at East Tennessee State University. In December 2006, I married my wife Lori downtown in Forsyth Park. In my free time I enjoy spending time on the links, hanging out with friends and family, and sleeping. If you have any sports stories, ideas, or just want to say "hi" you can drop me a line at fsulkowski@wjcl.com

Hi, I’m Allen Kinzly, Sports Reporter and Weekend Sports Anchor for WJCL/Fox 28. I came to the Savannah area in February 2007, but I have lived in Georgia my whole life. I graduated from the University of Georgia with a Sports Studies degree. While I was at UGA, I spent three years as the mascot for many athletic, community, and school events. My most memorable moment was being Hairy Dawg on the field after winning the SEC Football Championship in 2005. I originally wanted to become a professional mascot, but after my internship in the sports department at Fox 5 in Atlanta, I was hooked to covering local sports.
After graduation I worked part time at Turner Field on the ground crew and at two sports production companies covering high school football, racing events, and SEC gymnastics.
I am excited to be in the Savannah area covering the sports we all love. If you have a story idea, something crazy for me to do in regards to sports, or just want to say hi, email me at akinzly@wjcl.com! Thanks for watching!
