Cameron Herald sports editor to step down

Submitted by Cameron1 on

Josh Pratt has resigned as the sports editor at The Cameron Herald.  Pratt, which is a 2009 graduate of C.H. Yoe High School, has been in charge of sports at the paper since 2014.  He will continue to cover football until the 2018 season has completed.  

 

A statement from Pratt:

 

"It's with a heavy heart that I am announcing my resignation from The Cameron Herald.  The last few years have seen my work load increase all the way up to four jobs, and at this time that has become too much to juggle.  

 

Traveling to games and covering the passionate student-athletes that we have in Cameron has been an experience I will soon not forget.  I know first-hand what Yoe pride is all about, but it was humbling to see just how hard the coaches and kids work in this community.  Some would consider it a job, but I truly did consider it a hobby. 

 

I would like to thank Candace Velvin for giving me the opportunity to start writing and the rest of the Herald staff for their continued support over the years.  I would also like to thank Rick Rhoades and Tommy Brashear for working with me and keeping me up to date. 

 

Though I will no longer be covering sports for the paper, I plan on being involved with the Yoe Athletic Boosters and travel to a plethora of sporting events throughout the year.  Once a Yoemen, always a Yoemen!"
