I just saw on Gregg’s blog that he’s resigned and accepted a new position at Mississippi State. He also said you’re going to be the new beat writer so I just wanted to say congrats on moving up. One quick question though, who is going to take your spot on the high school scene? You’ve done such a great job with high school sports, it’s hard to picture someone else doing it.
I'm 32, married with four (mostly) sweet children. I finally figured out I was a writer halfway through college. My parents knew it long before, but as I used to hate writing – the result, I'm sure, of all those high school term papers – I didn't catch on.
Now I'm assistant sports editor for the Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal, and I love my job. I love the area, too. I'm originally from Oxford, though I graduated from Ruston (La.) High School (1990 state champs!).
I have a blast covering all our high school teams; frankly, I don't know that I'll ever want to cover anything else. A college or pro beat would be nice, but there's too much dishonesty, scandal and selfishness on those levels.
I'll stick with the kids.
Great job on the journal this year. By the way, I think I got three of the four players right. I just picked Eason over Snead in it. oh well
Also, is anyone from the journal going to be covering the Lafayette game? I figured that would be the best game in the area this week.
Thanks. I’m trying to get someone on the Lafayette game. We’ll get it covered.
