Hello, my name is Cole Smith. I’m a junior at Triton High School. I am a baseball player at Triton, and a former football player. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, listening to music, and spending time with my friends and family. I enjoy writing about sports, which is part of the reason why I took journalism in the first place. I enjoy interacting with students, especially fellow athletes and learning new stories about people. I feel as though being a journalist and writing for the school paper is important because it is crucial for students and staff to know what goes on. It is also a good source of entertainment for the school and for me, behind-the-scenes writing stories. In the future, I hope to attend college at UMass Amherst and major in business or communications. I hope to pursue a career in commentary and analytics for the NFL, UFC, or MLB.
