Hi, my name is Van Malone and I am the Sports Editor for the Panther Prints! There are a couple of things that you should know about me:

I LOVE shoes, mostly Jordans and everyday I try to wear a different pair of shoes, just to mix it up a little bit. I collect and sell sneakers to others who share the same love that I do. My favorite pair by far are the Jordan eleven closing ceremonies, as the gold on the leather is amazing. As my title says, I love sports. Sports, mainly football has been in my life since the beginning. And as long as I live, probably will not leave; not that I want it to. My favorite sport is football but basketball is a close second. I am extremely competitive, and admittedly maybe a little too competitive. If you see me in the hallways, chances are I have my headphones in. That is because I love music. I will listen to music literally for hours (because I have before) my playlist is nearly endless and music is just another layer of the cake that is me.
