Decent Essays
Stone Peckham is 14 and is pretty funny and random. His loves to hunt and wrestle. He is apart of the Hoyt crew on the “Hoyt vs. Mathews” Controversy. He is pretty gutsy. Honestly, I can think of many, no, a lot of times that he has done the dumbest things. He can be smart if he wants to. but most of the time he acts fun. He can be a player, but I’m the only one who knows who he likes cause we are like bros. His activities involve wrestling, FFA, and possibly football next year. He is also in softball, a league separate from the school. He likes slow pitch more than fast pitch, but he does both. His family includes his brother, Sawyer, his mother, Colleen, and his father, Jeff. He also had a sister pass a few years ago due to a car accident.
