ABOUT GLORY DAYS

What is Glory Days?

Glory Days Magazine was founded in 2013 by former college baseball player and newspaper editor Dave “Sully” OSullivan. We cover high school sports throughout South Jersey and bring professional-style reporting and photography to the high school level. Our website and digital magazine feature award-winning features, game stories, Q&As and much more. Our digital footprint and social media outlets reach tens of thousands of fans every month!

Our Mission

Here at Glory Days we strive to highlight the best and brightest that South Jersey high school athletics has to offer. By partnering with local businesses, big and small, we’re able to bring our fans timely game reporting as well as top-notch feature stories about high school athletes who are not only excelling for their respective team, but also getting it done in the classroom and showing leadership in their local communities.

What makes Glory Days so popular?

The reason we’ve been so successful is that we’ve experienced high school sports and their positive attributes at a personal level. O’Sullivan played high school and college baseball and special football writers Mark Trible and Larry Henry Jr. were athletes in their younger days as well. We also highlight the local businesses that do a great job supporting all these athletes, coaches and their families, and tie together their relationships with the community.

What is the future of Glory Days?

We plan to continue to grow and cover even more schools throughout the South Jersey counties of Atlantic, Cape May, Cumberland, Gloucester, Salem, Camden and Burlington, and continue to expand the kind of specialty features that have made Glory Days one of the top high school sports outlets in the state!
