Noel's Bio

My name is Noel. I'm 16 years old and I live in Northport, New York and go to Northport High School. My teams are the Mets, Jets, Knicks, Penguins, Blue Devils, Fighting Irish and ManU. I know more sports trivia than just about any human being on earth. I write mostly about baseball and football, but will mix in other sports. I like to be a well rounded fan. I'm incredibly opinionated about sports and I'm always up for a debate. You can email me at: npurcell8@gmail.com

  2. This article was originally published in support of Relay for Life. If you have read this before, then I apologize, but please considering donating at least $1 to Make a Wish in the memory of Josiah Herring. In light of several recent events I felt compelled to revisit cancer awareness and have not had the time for a new article. I Promise to have a new article out soon in support of the cause.

    Thank you everyone!
