Graham Thomson, Sports Editor

Graham Thomson is the sports editor on the staff of the Puma Press. He is a sophomore and this is his second year on staff, though he did take the course as an intensive in middle school. He loves writing sports stories and contributing to Heard in the Hallways. Both of these things are his favorite parts of journalism. Outside of this class, he likes watching sports, playing wheelchair basketball and sled hockey, playing with his dog, and laughing for no reason.
