Sam Best, Editor

Sam Best, better known by his nickname of "Skipping," is a basketball player, March Madness champion, and a student of BSM. When this junior is not wandering the halls of his beloved school, he can be found spending his time on the basketball court, cracking jokes with his friends, or lying in bed. He spends his summers having a blast on Big Fish Lake surfing and skiing, watching the office, or dominating his boys in spikeball time and time again. He spends most of his school year with minimal sleep, high amounts of procrastination, and not a lot of free time. Even with his hectic lifestyle, Samuel will always be willing to partake in a conversation if you want to know him better.
