Editorial Director and Sports Editor

Tony Pavia was born on April 6, 1956 at Stamford Hospital in Stamford, Connecticut. Mr. Pavia
grew up in Stamford along with two older brothers, where he attended Stevens Elementary School.

The struggle to the find and buy the perfect jersey is something that plagues all sports fans. Qualities like team, color and player all play a key role in the deciding on a jersey. Students shared their favorite jerseys as well as characteristics they looked for when buying jerseys.
