Cooper Sanders is a senior in his 4th year of radio and has been appointed as sports manager for this school year!

Another thing that he enjoys is his weekly live shows, The Starting 5 and The Sideline Cast, where he talks about all things sports. Although he accomplished his main goal in becoming sports manager, he still has big expectations for himself as he is looking to win a national and state award this year. Throughout the year, Cooper plans on passing on his knowledge to the juniors and sophomores so that the station is in the best sport possible when he leaves. Outside of radio, you can catch him being a Carmel dads club coach and player in the fall, and supporting the Colts and Pacers.
