The Impact of Ethan Linnon

Two weeks ago on Friday, October 16 Butler High School senior Ethan Linnon died in a car accident. His death was felt by virtually everyone in the Butler community. This past Friday, October 23 Butler  football hosted Fox Chapel for their final home game of the season. The winless Golden Tornado were looking for their first win of the season. With a packed crowd and Ethan's parents on the field for the coin toss, it was quite the emotional night.

Butler ultimately won 30-22 and it turned into one of the more wonderful scenes I've ever seen at a sporting event.

Upgrades at Slippery Rock's Athletic Facilities

Slippery Rock has their fair share of athletic facilities. From Mihalik-Thompson Stadium to Jack Critchfield Park, there are homes for every major sports. But, because structure don't live forever, there have been some repairs over the last few years. 

Are You Experienced?

As much as we enjoy being in class and going to college, I was always told real life experiences are invaluable. I've had the privilege over the past few years to work in radio at the local level with the Butler Media Group.

However, working at local radio isn't a Monday through Friday 9-5 job. The hours are always bizarre and days can be somewhat taxing. Also, another piece of advice that I got from Pirates broadcaster was to "never say no," because you never know where that job may possibly lead to.

So, on Saturday, I was asked to be in three different places, working from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. at a series of different events.
