When I signed up for Comms 321, I never thought I'd end up on the sports desk. I've always loved sports but it was mostly playing them I liked. I didn't know much about any sport- except basketball and baseball.
I spent about three years of my life working as a baseball, softball and basketball scorekeeper in my hometown and loved it. I had to learn the official rules and signs, and before long reading the officials' calls was second nature. I've never followed any sports teams ever, so it's been fun and challenging to get to know the BYU women's basketball team throughout the semester with interviews and at games. I didn't know what I was doing at first- I kind of felt like the Universe made me figure that out on my own. That's probably why I'm so proud to call myself a sportswriter.
