After the Washington Nationals won the World Series in 2019, Abby Prywitch and her fellow student journalists at Parkway Central High School brainstormed an idea about an alum they would like to interview: Max Scherzer, a star pitcher on the Nationals.
âRight away, I knew that I really wanted to do that story, so I volunteered for it,â said Pyrwitch, who is Jewish and serves as editor-in-chief of
Corral, the schoolâs newspaper.
But it would not be an easy assignment.Â
Her persistence in reporting on Scherzer and a number of other well-written stories recently earned Prywitch the 2021 Student Journalist of the Year award from the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association.Â
