Dammit, I knew I'd forget some people doing this, so let me shout out @cj_peters and @JP8185 as well, who were two more of my favorites to run into in the field.
JP, in particular, deserves every award a preps writer can receive. His passion for coverage is unmatched.
Having two newspapers in our area means I was rarely alone in the press box. It was a pleasure to be at countless games alongside people like @astem00 and @DavidPFunk and @Sam_Beishuizen and @HP62315 and a slew of others I'm definitely forgetting or bailed on Twitter.
Back here for a final thread because it's very much possible that this article below will be the final one that I write for @PostTribSports.
Abigail Parrish nears a Chesterton record. But team success drives her.

Oh, and @2ndCityHockey isn't going anywhere. In fact, this little change could very well be affording me even more time for that venture, which is well past the two-year mark as an independent outlet and on sturdier ground than ever.

After spinal fusion, Andrean freshman Maeve Bouton is back on the field.
Most important, she’s “the same Maeve.”

A fractured vertebra didn’t stop Chesterton’s Adey Avey. What can?
“She’s doing things not all kids can do.”

Crown Point’s Payton Cholewa is raring to go.
“She does try so hard all of the time.”
Even when she shouldn’t.
