Jay Fagel, Staff Writer

Hi! My name is Jay Fagel. I am a senior, and an opinion and sports columnist. This is my fourth year on staff. This year I am interested in writing about some of my own opinions and also diving into content within the sports world at ETHS. Outside the Evanstonian, I am the president of the Sports Business club here at ETHS and I play on the Varsity Hockey team. I love watching movies and sports, and I love to expand my palate by trying to new foods and restaurants.
