Michael Ball, Reporter

Michael Ball is a sophomore at CHS and he is very excited for his first year at the Wolfpacket as a reporter. Ball is a member of the CHS Speech and Debate team, in addition to being a Boy Scout. He loves the outdoors and enjoys hiking, cycling, and swimming. He is an avid hunter of ducks and geese, and loves the thrill of the hunt. Ball is a nerd through and through, his favorite subject is history, with biology in a close second, and he is crazy enough to actually enjoy writing essays. The one thing that trumps his love of computers is his love of politics, as he well-read in most issues and has an opinion on everything. Ball is looking forward to a challenging year and hopes that he will learn a lot along the way.
