About the Contributors

Reid Watkins, Sports Editor

Reid Watkins is a senior at Normal Community High School and a member of the football program. In his first year with the Inkspot, Reid was promoted to Sports Editor. Reid commentates girls basketball, baseball and volleyball games that the Inkspot live streams on YouTube. My favorite film is simultaneously Forrest Gump, Pitch Perfect and Anchorman 2. The best advice I could give to underclassmen is to respect all of your teachers.

Shae Simmons, Multimedia Editor

Shae Simmons is a senior at Normal Community High School and a fourth-year member of the varsity Iron Dance team. This is her second year working with the Inkspot, and she is the Multimedia editor. On the weekends I like to watch movies and hang out with friends. A slogan to live by is live for the moments you can’t put into words. My all-time dream is to travel around the world.

Will Dowell, Multimedia Editor

Will Dowell is a senior at Normal Community High School and he plays on the baseball team. This is his third year being a part of the Inkspot staff. My favorite film is Moneyball with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill. If I won a million dollars, then I would by 2 million Frosties from Wendy’s. The slogan that I live by is “There is no such thing as an inappropriate joke, that’s why it’s a joke.”-Michael Scott.

Tommy Olsson, Senior Staff Writer

Tommy Olson is in his junior year at Normal Community High School. This is Tommy’s first year as a Staff Reporter for the school newspaper, Inkspot. The farthest I’ve been from home was on a trip to Ireland with my family two summers ago. I am most comfortable when I’m around people I know and enjoy being with – like my friends and family. My favorite film of all time is definitely Lion King.
