For my entire life, sports have always been one of the things that I love most. Starting from a young age, I have always known that I wanted to be involved in the sports journalism field and I'm so grateful that I am able to now. Filming at sporting events has always been one of my favorite parts of journalism along with all the long hours editing. I've been able to grow and learn so much while writing, designing, editing, filming and so much more.Â
These pictures represent the passion I have for sports that has been evident in my life for many years.
My favorite thing that I get to lead in production is The Season. When I made my first episode freshman year, I had no idea how many amazing opportunities that it would bring me. I've made it my goal this year to try and make an episode for as many sports as I could. I've been able to step outside of my comfort zone and cover sports that have never had any coverage. I truly love what I'm able to do with The Season and am excited to continue to create new episodes in my final year of high school. Listed below are some of my favorite episodes that I have created.
This episode was really fun to do as we were coming off of a 4 game losing streak and one our first game in six weeks. The biggest part of The Season is finding a good story to tell and discussing how to fulfill that story in a limited amount of time we have for each episode. I think my staff and I were able to do that very well this episode.
This episode features the OHS girls basketball team as they prepare for the postseason. This team has been able to be very successful this year after many years of struggle. This episode was so fun to make as it was the first ever episode of "The Season" for the girls program.
This episode follows the Oxford High School Baseball team as they play their playoff series against Germantown. I really love this episode because of how this team was able to come back from adversity and win the series.
All episodes of The Season can be found on YouTube @Oxford High Sports Productions
This season, I was given the opportunity to design and create graphics and videos for our baseball and softball video boards. It was really fun to learn new skills that I wouldn't have learned in a normal broadcast, and I hope to continue to expand my skill set in the future.
While we like to showcase all things at OHS on our many social media accounts, many posts are related to OHS athletics. As our social media chair, part of my job is creating and editing sports content to post for our followers. Listed below are many examples of content I have created.
