About the Contributors

Maddy Houghton, Sports Editor
Madalyn Houghton, a seasoned third-year Broadcast Journalism student editor, is eagerly counting down the days till graduation. During the past four years, Houghton has played soccer, basketball, and softball for BMU. When she’s not busy being a “sports superstar,” she works at the Newbury Village Store perfecting the art of small-town multi-tasking. Speaking of multi-tasking, Houghton also juggles various ‘full-time jobs’ including a Master Lego Car Builder and serving her unprepared friends as “Team Mom.” You’ll also find her whipping up indulgent baked goods, schooling you on the basketball court, working with the Student Council and National Honors Society, or spending time with friends and family. After graduation, Houghton plans to attend a four-year college with hopes of adding the title Athletic Trainer to her resume.

Ainsley Kendall, Managing Editor
Ainsley Kendall is a senior at Blue Mountain Union High School. After school, you’ll see her: hanging out at the barn with her horses, playing softball, dancing competitively, taking piano and ukulele lessons, or at tennis practice. When not at those activities, she enjoys listening to music, reading any book she can find, and making scrapbooks. Ainsley can also often be found hanging out with friends, water skiing at the lake, or spending quality time with her huge family. This is Ainsley’s second year reporting for BNN, and is excited to be back.
