Hello! My name is Ryan, I’m a junior and this is my second year on The Dispatch. This year, I will be a part of the print section. Outside of school, I hang out with my best friends Hannah or Charlie, I listen to music, watch movies, work at Wholy Bagel on weekends, or go to barton. I am a part of Bowie’s yearbook and newspaper, so I’m really glad I can continue producing content for both.

BALANCING BAND: Senior football player Cedric Walls quickly hurries onto the field after the 2nd quarter to perform alongside the band. Walls has been in band and football since his freshman year. “After school on game days, I get dressed in my gear and go straight to football,” Walls said. “After that I come down to band to get my instrument and vipers and then I head to the game. I usually get home at around midnight.”
