Cooper Seaver, Design Editor

Hi, my name is Cooper and this is my second year as design editor on the Trailblazer staff. I like participating in MavTheatre and helping out with productions when I can. Outside of school, I’m usually watching movies, reading comic books or writing about either of those things.

Coach Greene palms a basketball for only 5 seconds. He broke his pinky in his senior year of college. "I don't have the same strength in my hand," Greene said. "I used to be able to palm a ball, I can barely palm a ball now because I can't extend my fingers the way I used to."
