Aparri Tarpley, Sports Editor

I am a senior at Bonita Vista High and this is my first year on the Crusader as a Sports Editor. The reason I joined newspaper was to expand my writing abilities, become more involved in the school community, and to make new friends! I applied for Sports Editor because I thoroughly enjoy reporting on sports events and interviewing the players that participate. Outside of the Crusader,  I am a part of BVH’s Varsity Swim Team and Varsity Girls Water Polo Team. I am also the Boys Water Polo Team manager, co-president of BVH’s Hiking Club, and the secretary of our school’s Interact Club.
