Reporting & Writing

I did not learn about the writing aspect of Journalism until the second semester of my Junior year. Before JEA San Francisco Nationals in the Spring of 2023, there was only one spot left for the trip to San Francisco. I was very fortunate to be able to go on the trip. I agreed to sign up for the Sports Writing On-Site competition. I prepared as much as I could for about a month to learn a lot about Sports Writing. On the day of the competition we had to write a story about McCovey Cove Dave (Dave catches home runs at McCovey Cove during San Francisco Giants home games). When the results came out for the competition I earned an Honorable Mention. Which I guess is not bad for my first time writing about sports. I got the opportunity during the first week of the school year to write stories about the Kearney community in the sports world with Best Version Media. My partner, Skyler Shipley and I tag team articles. We write one every month about how our school sports are going. Sometimes I go out of my way to cover some other sports topics for Best Version Media but all of it is for the Kearney community.
