I’m Allen Kinzly, Sports Reporter and 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 also spent 3 summers working as the Adventure Director for Camp Twin Lakes (CTL) in Rutledge, GA. CTL is a camp for kids with special needs. I had a wonderful time with kids suffering from hemophilia, cancer, brain injuries, muscular dystrophy, heart, liver, and kidney disease and many others. I learned so much from those kids, and it’s amazing to see kids who can’t walk, fly through the air on a ropes course!
I’ve always loved the outdoors, starting with earning my Eagle Scout award in Boy Scouts … that is probably why I loved being the adventure director at CTL.
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!
