Needless to say, it was emotional. 12 years in the Westlake City School District came to quite the finish yesterday at the CSU Wolstein Center. It was a long ceremony, but I knew it would be the last time I would see a lot of my friends. I would like to thank so many people here on the Bench...

Today was an absolutely amazing day! My TV class went on a field trip to WKNR which, for those of you who don't know, is ESPN Radio Cleveland. First of all, we got off from school which is enough of a win for me!:D Secondly, my friend who knows local sports talk show host Tony Rizzo got to...

Being my senior year in high school, I decided to FINALLY be proactive! My school has one of the best TV stations in the area, and I've been a part for a few years, but never really got very involved, and that is my only regret. So, I started signing up to do color commentary for my school's...

Well, the time has come. Entering my Senior Year of high school this year, I've been putting off the college thing for too long, and I was wondering if anyone on the good ol' Bench could help me!

Hi guys! I just thought I'd throw a random thread to talk about my little "summer project." I drink a lot of Dr. Pepper. And I mean A LOT!:p One day, the brilliant idea came across my mind that I should save my empty cans and make a fort out of them. I hope to finish it by the time school...
