About the Contributors

Shae Daugherty, Section Editor

It’s Daug·herty, /Dortee/, Daugherty. It’s not that hard. Coaches never get it wrong, and that may have been what drove her to sports photography in the first place. When she isn’t leaving sticky notes all over the newsroom, she’s in the heart of the sideline with a few cameras and a small bag of SD cards. She spends nearly all her time with the Sideline Team, causing trouble or residing in the studio. Her favorite part of football season is the two hours before any game, when the photographers go to dinner, or at least they try to. Shae’s sustained many injuries during her five year run as a sports photographer due to her inability to see players charging at her. Ironically, the Photo Editor is legally blind, and will crack numerous blind jokes, at the disapproval of one Benjamin Nopper. Her goal this year is for The Red Ledger to finally win the Pacemaker, and nothing will stand in her way. Coming in right at 5’10”, she certainly doesn’t need heels, but she wouldn’t be caught dead without them. Let her leave you with this one piece of advice–keep your heels, head and standards high.

Abigail Lund, Staff Writer

Abigail Lund is a senior at Lovejoy, and this is her first year in The Red Ledger staff. She recently moved to Texas from Mississippi in January and is enjoying every moment here in the burning hot lands of Lucas. She is also still amazed by the amount of people in her grade, considering she came from a small class of 50 people. Some of her favorite hobbies besides writing is dance, art, and drinking Dr. Pepper. Her plans for the future are to study art and writing in college and eventually travel the world. She loves creativity and adventure, and lives every moment to the fullest. She is very proud to be a part of the Red Ledger her last year of high school and can’t wait to see what opportunities it will give her in the future.
