Reed Malek
Sports Editor
Hello, Bearcat Nation! My name is Reed Malek, and I am proud to say that I will be serving as Sports Editor of the Chatterbox
this year. I will be following all Ruston High athletics and spirit groups as they plow through their opponents this
year!
As well as being Sports Editor for the ―Voice of Ruston High‖, I am also a faithful member of the German Club, Future
Business Leaders of America (FBLA), and the Kick-Off Mentor Program. I say ―faithful member‖ not because it gives the
illusion that I am active in the clubs, but because it is the single best defining word of myself as a person. I am faithful to
everything I stand for in my life, whether it is the worst team in Major League Baseball (the Houston Astros), the city of
Ruston, or even this glorious newspaper for which I am currently writing. Seriously, 46 years without a World Series win.
And I am still a huge fan. If that isn‘t loyal, then I don‘t know what is!
As the school year trudges on, I implore all of you to go out and support all Bearcat athletics, starting with the football
team whose season is knocking at the door! I look forward to seeing all of you in the halls and in the stands! Go ‗Cats!
Alex Cockerham
Sports Reporter
I, Alexandria Cockerham, also known as Allie, have three sisters and four brothers. I have no pets because
they are too big of a responsibility. When I entered Ruston High School as a freshman, I never imagined being
on the Chatterbox staff as a sports reporter.
This year as a sophomore, I plan to join a lot of clubs. My freshman year I was enrolled in FBLA, PCI,
4-H, and the Pom Squad. I want to be on the Chatterbox staff because I want to express myself in the newspaper.
I also want to be on Chatterbox to support my school. I love Ruston High‘s school spirit. I also appreciate
how the teachers and administrators strive to help the students succeed.
Ambria Holmes
Sports Reporter
My name is Ambria Holmes; some may know me as Ami or Am. I am a sophomore and this will be my
first year on the Chatterbox staff and I am excited to be a part of our school paper. On Chatterbox, I will be the
sports reporter.
As a freshman, I wasn‘t involved in any clubs so this year I wanted to commit myself and support my
school. My education is very important to me and Ruston High is a school that prepares us for the hardships
life will bring. I love that the teachers motivate us while also allowing us to
have fun and enjoy school. At this school, we are like family. We do our
best to support each other and that‘s why I‘m proud to say I am a Bearcat!
Outside of school, I spend a lot of time with my family and friends.
However, I also make time to sit and read and write. I love writing because
it allows me to express my feelings. Sometimes I just want to be alone to
think and meditate. Many people would describe me as a silly, outgoing,
and sometimes ―slow‖, but friendly person.
