Hansen Lannen, Editor

Hey! My name is Hansen Lannen, and I am a sophomore student-athlete at West Branch. I play football, basketball, and baseball for the school. This is my second year working with Warrior Watch. My favorite subject is English, and I hope to go to college to become a sports journalist.
