About Alex »

My name is Alex Tichenor. I am 17 (high school junior) and have hopes of becoming a sportswriter someday. I am from Wake Forest, NC, near Raleigh so naturally I am a big NC State fan. As for professional sports I am a huge Panthers fan. I follow the NFL and NBA closer than any other sports. My NBA team is the Blazers. My family is from the Portland area and they are big Blazers fans, so that's the tie in. I'm not a huge puckhead, but I'm a big fan of the Carolina Hurricanes. I like the Florida Marlins in the MLB, but do not live and die with them like I do with my other favorite teams. I really like to write preview articles and predictions so you'll be seeing a lot of those from me, as well as stuff about the Blazers and Panthers mostly.

Thanks Alex, for everything. Sounds good man, I really hope you get the NC State Football FC as well! I am about to get off right now, but I promise to check out your articles in the morning. PM me the links to some of your latest articles and I will try to help pass them around for you. Haha. And I live in Fuquay, so you might know where that is. Haha. What school do you go to?

Hey, I just completed my second article on Duke Football, trying to become a Duke Football Featured Columnist. I preview the Top 5 Offensive Players to keep an eye on in 2009. Since I am trying to become a FC, please leave any feedback that you can, what I should do differently next time, things I can do to improve the article, etc. Thanks in advance. I appreciate the support!
