I've been doing some freelance sports writing for The HAN Network.
In the fall, I covered football for a couple of their publications, including The Fairfield Sun and the Trumbull Times.
Then, the last couple of weeks, I've been writing about basketball for another one of their publications, The Darien Times. (Hockey is something I have been told that I know I need to learn more and then cover).
Personally, getting to cover Ludlowe basketball against Darien was a blast. I got to cover both the girls and boys games and got to interview both Ludlowe coaches (along with Darien coaches, Charoy Bentley and Melba Chambers), Sara Kinsley and John Dailey.
I've gotten to know players and coaches at different schools that I did not. At the schools where I do know people, I've gotten to work with them in a different capacity than I previously had when apart of the Ludlowe basketball team or when I interned in the Ludlowe Athletic Department.
I've also had the opportunity to interact with many great media members from other outlets, including Scott Ericson, Chris Elsberry, Emery Filmer, Rob Adams, Chris Kaelin and Damian Andrew.
It's been good to work with Dave Stewart, Susan Shultz, Bill Bloxsom, John Kovach, Marty Hersam and the rest of the team who has put my articles online and in print who I have not directly worked with.
Most of what I have done is game stories. However, I just finished up writing an article on Warde boys basketball's Sean Conway. I really enjoyed writing this. It was different for me, but a lot of fun. I was happy to write about what a great player and person Conway is. Thanks to Sean, Dan Fitzpatrick and Coach Ryan Swaller for your assistance.
Thanks to Art Cockerham for allowing me to use some of the photos he has taken. Go check out his photography skills on the Ludlowe Athletics Instagram.
I look forward to see where it continues to go as I look for a full-time job.
If anyone has any suggestions for what you'd like to see me write about, feel free to reach out to be on Twitter or Facebook.
