My name is Eric Weyant. I am a sophomore on the Mountain Echo and Horseshoe staff. I am a bass drummer in the band. When I’m not drumming, I’m playing basketball or cornhole. I’m very good at cornhole. In my first tournament, I placed in the top 5. I like playing with my family in Claysburg, and we enter tournaments together. I’m excited to tell you what’s going on in the school this year.
