Josh Dillon, Sports Editor

Currently a Journalism major at Illinois Valley Community College, Josh is a self-defined sports nut who might follow and analyze what he likes a little too much. He plans to transfer to Western Illinois University in the fall after graduating from IVCC in the summer.

He also served as the color commentator for Hall Red Devil football on 99.3 WAJK over the fall season alongside Mike Barrie.

In his spare time, Josh enjoys playing baseball and football, as well as video games and he’s been known to appear on stage in the area, including performances in The Man Who Came to Dinner,  Amadeus, Don’t Drink the Water, and A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum at Stage 212 in LaSalle and Arsenic and Old Lace at Engle Lane Theater in Streator.
