Robby Sutherland –– Sports Editor

The youngest member of the Journalism editors, Robert Joel Sutherland has proved himself to be a strong participant in the Knight Errant. At a young age of 11, Mr. Sutherland enjoys watching Teletubbies and the occasional walk in the park with his three cats on a leash. Robert doesn’t have any friends because he prefers to lock himself in his room and play World of Warcraft. His favorite singers consist of Miley Cyrus and Raven Symone while he simultaneously loves Ludacris, Snoop Dogg and Lil’ Jon. As a BSM student with straight D’s and no success, Robby roams the hallways. If you see him, do not acknowledge him, he bites.
