Ellie Abdoney, Sports Editor

Ellie Abdoney is Achona’s Sports Editor and an Academy Senior.  This is her second year on the Achona staff and she really enjoys using her passion of watching and playing sports as an aid as the Sports Editor of Achona.  Abdoney, an animal lover, volunteers at The Humane Society by taking care of cats and dogs.  However, her favorite pet is her “really cute King Charles Spaniel Poodle named Tucker.”  When she is not playing with Tucker, Abdoney can usually be found watching Friends or One Tree Hill, reading People Magazine or eating an empanada!  However, she does not have much free time for these things because she is involved with AHN Varsity Soccer, TLC, and Best Buddies. Abdoney also hopes to attend school at Auburn University next year and eventually enroll in Medical School.  At Auburn, she is excited to meet new people, experience new things and join a sorority.
