After a busy debut year as a full-time staffer for The Accolade, senior Andrew Ngo leaves his position as sports editor to oversee the renovation of shhsaccolade.com. Previously, Ngo traveled as far as Bakersfield to cover Sunny Hills playoff games, received recognition from journalists at the Orange County Register and numerous journalism competitions for his work and created the @AccoladeSports Twitter account—where he posts Sunny Hills sports news, scores and live updates. Ngo loves working from the sidelines and hearing feedback on his coverage.
When Ngo isn’t covering a Sunny Hills sports event, you can find him working with school clubs, playing tennis or listening to country music.
