Macon TD Club welcomes ESPN’s Schlabach

          Author and longtime ESPN writer Mark Schlabach is the guest speaker Monday night at the Macon Touchdown Club.

          The club meets at the Methodist Home for Children and Youth, in the Rumford Center, at 304 Pierce Ave. It starts at 6:30 p.m. with dinner and the program to begin around 7. Admission for non-members is $30. This is the final meeting of the season, with the jamboree and Georgia head coach Kirby Smart in February.

          Tattnall is the featured high school.

          Schlabach is a Norcross and Georgia graduate, whose journalism career began at the Atlanta Journal-Constitution where his beats included UGA, the SEC, then the NFL and then NASCAR. He moved on to the Washington Post and covered college football and basketball, and boxing.

          He joined ESPN in July 2006. In the past decade plus, he has authored or co-authored books on Bobby Bowden, John Heisman, and several on the Duck Dynasty family, with a number of titles making the New York Times best-seller list, and has been one of ESPN’s primary investigative reporters.
