These are obviously interesting times. Sport Writers across the world have literally nothing to write about. Clearly, this is also true for a certain Collingwood Athletic Director who is used to bragging about the student-athletes he loves to cheer on every week.
However, we're not going to let a lack of games stop this sports blog. We're going to continue to profile Collingwood's top student-athletes. We're starting with Grade 12's who by all rights should be starring in Term 3 sports right now. Please enjoy learning more about these amazing young men and women:
