About Caleb »

“Be yourself. Above all, let who you are, what you are, what you believe, shine through every sentence you write, every piece you finish.”—John Jakes

I'm 14 and currently a 8th grader. I love to write, and enjoy most sports including football, basketball, hockey, tennis, college football, basketball, baseball, and rugby.

I write about the Oregon Ducks, football in general, and am starting to get into college basketball and hope to expand the community. I also am going to start writing about the Blazers again. I really enjoy writing, and have a passion for making my work the best it can be.

I am honored to have my articles featured on Scout.com, rivals.com, and various newspaper sites around the northwest.

On November 8th, I enjoyed the experience of a lifetime. I went behind the scenes as it were, of the Portland Trail Blazers. I took the media tour first off. Fascinating stuff! Man...a lot more goes into that than people think. I met commentators Wheels and Rice, plus another one of those attractive sideline reporters—Rebecca Haarlow.

The best part was meeting the team. That's right, I met Brandon Roy, Martell Webster, Andre Miller, Steve Blake, the whole nine yards. I served as a team attendant for the game (ball boy), working with the coaches and players two hours before the game. Then I sat in some very amazing sits during the second half, as pictured. Right next to the cameras I might add. It was something I'll never forget. It also inspired me to start writing about the Blazers again.

My three favorite authors:
Leroy Watson. He is a great friend, mentor, and a Duck band wagoner...lol. He consistently writes great pieces, check him out: http://bleacherreport.com/users/68004-leroy-watson

Hotnuke. 'Nuke here writes, again, consistently great articles. They can spur up a 12 comment conversation on 50 reads, something very very few people can do. He writes about various topics, including touching ones like his Veterans Day special. Check him out for some great work:
http://bleacherreport.com/users/91691-hotnuke

Bryan Kelly. In two months he's wrote 60+ articles, and is the number one college football writer—above BabyTate and the likes. Some poweful, opinionated articles always catch my eyes with Bryan. Check him out if you want some real College Football info: http://bleacherreport.com/users/147187-bryan-kelly

    Great read Caleb. Not so sure about Tiny Gallon yet, but Mason-Griffin can be the key to another deep run come March. This is a guard's...
