The Vernois News
From October 2018 until my 2020 graduation, I worked as a writer and eventually Sports Editor of Mt. Vernon Township High School’s Vernois News publication. The most well-known and well-received of my work during this time was my coverage of the Mt. Vernon Rams boys basketball team, which saw much success during my time as the de facto beat reporter.
In addition to working with the school-sponsored publication, my coverage had the benefit of being the only consistent online reporting of Rams games available. Because of this, The Vernois News gained hundreds of loyal readers that loaded up the home page every Friday night or Saturday morning.
