I will be the first to admit, I had a completely different column written out for this week, as I had planned on writing about the Class of 2024 as a whole and how they will be one of the most talented athletic classes to ever walk the halls of Hart County High School.

I took over the publisher role for The Hartwell Sun around the same time the Class of 2024 was embarking on their senior year at Hart County High School. When I got here, the paper had been without and editor for nine months and without a reporter for three months.

With the eighth pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Falcons select – Michael Penix Jr., quarterback, Washington. As the announcement was made, my jaw literally hit the floor. Then my immediate reaction was to text our editor and publisher at The Hartwell Sun, Patrick Fargason.

As spring sports wrap up, another fantastic athletic season comes to an end for all of the teams that compete over at Hart County High School. Many great moments happened out on the courts or fields, but maybe you didn’t get to see it.

There is always a posing question in every sport’s history — who is the greatest of all time? It is a never ending debate in many sports like football, basketball, soccer, racing, and baseball.

Each Wednesday, once The Hartwell Sun has been put to bed for the week and off to the printer, I treat myself to a nice lunch.

Eleven years ago I was about to enter my freshman year of high school. I don’t feel old but saying that sure does make me feel old. I spent my summers saving up for one video game before going back to school — EA Sports College Football.

As a sports junkie, I will freely admit there are some weekdays where it’s hard to get your work done. March Madness, the opening rounds of The Masters, and the Olympics are all events that I’ll need a television and a computer on hand to keep up with the coverage despite having a full time job.
