I’ve been thinking about how to write this post seemingly for the past 24 hours. Yesterday I was informed that I was being let go as the sports editor of the Journal Review. The newspaper industry has seen wide spread changes and cutbacks over the last 5+ years.

The best thing I’ve seen today is Freddie’s reaction😂 @PaulByrd36 what was your reaction last night at the park?
Please watch @FreddieFreeman5 reaction to the “Baby Shark” phenomenon that has caught on in DC because of Gerardo Parra. #priceless. @Nationals @braves

Beyond amazed the job that Phil Keller has done in first season as @soccer_mounties head coach. Senior Captain @lexieodum1 told me after the teams 3rd straight sectional title “He’s the best coach I’ve ever had”.

@Coach_Brum and the rest of the LIttle Giants continue to impress!
There's something special about this @WabashBBall team. Saturday the Little Giants in a must win game saw @adjones__33 take over and hit the gw 3 with 5.6 seconds left for a thrilling 76-75 win.

In the 2 seasons I’ve gotten to watch @JJH146, there hasn’t been a person who can single handily dominate a game like Jesse.

One of the greats to come through @CvilleBB
