Liam Hinkle, Assistant Sports Editor

Hello everyone! My name is Liam Hinkle (he/him). I am a junior and I am Assistant Sports Editor for the Evantonian. I was a sports writer for my first two years on staff. My passion for journalism has grown exponentially since I first covered my first game for the Evanstonian at the beginning of my freshman year, as I love combining my love of sports and writing . Aside from the Evanstonian I play Tennis for ETHS, do Model UN, and am a initiative leader for Emerge. Outside of school, I enjoy hanging out with friends and playing/watching sports.
