Billy Scott


Name: Billy Scott
Position: Sports Editor
Graduation Year: 2021
What's up! My name is Billy Scott (he/him), and I am a sports editor for SCO! I am a member of the Dual Enrollment Program, meaning I am in the graduating class of 2021 at both Montgomery College and at Blair. I love rap, my favorite artists are J. Cole, Lil Baby, Roddy Ricch, and Kendrick Lamar. I'm a big Washington sports fan, but you'll also catch me cheering on Liverpool for soccer. When I'm not writing for SCO, I'm probably listening to music, making a Capitol Hoops highlight video, walking my dogs, or watching The Office.
