Cooper McDermott

Cooper McDermott, Sports Editor

Senior Cooper McDermott is a sports journalist on the AHS journalism team. McDermott said he is most proud of his Homecoming football story and that a specific aspect he enjoys about journalism is educator, Allison Berryhill.

McDermott is involved in football, tennis, and baseball throughout the year. He plans to attend Dakota State University next fall to pursue a degree in teaching and to play baseball for the DSU Trojans. McDermott said, “One thing I would never change about myself is my athleticism.”

“One person I look up to is my grandpa John, because he is a great overall guy and a great cook,” McDermott said. “If I had to eat one food for a year, I would eat my grandpa’s chicken alfredo.” The last thing McDermott baked was chocolate chip cookies.

“If I had to describe myself in two words, I would say kind and joyful,” McDermott said. McDermott said that his friends would describe him as athletic and gorgeous.

“One thing that I own and would never give away would be my one strap bookbag,” McDermott said. “If I could acquire one talent without effort it would be extreme pen spinning.”

One calming place that McDermott likes to go to is the weight room. “My idea of a relaxing afternoon would be snuggling with Chloe,” he said.
