A few days ago I tweeted about how African American history has not been taught enough in our schools. So a petition has started to have A.A Studies available to all high schools in Fayette County with the end goal of making it a graduation requirement.
After graduating from WKU five months ago I’ll be returning back to Bowling Green as the new Sports Anchor/Reporter for

Can’t wait to get started!
When asked by
@TheTowelRackWKU
why fans should make the 3 hour trip down to Huntsville for the Tops championship game against UTEP tomorrow night at 7:30….Coach Lutz was straightforward as always.
WKU has a chance at an auto bid to the NCAA Tournament tomorrow night at 7:30
I’m blessed to win this years Kentucky Broadcast Association’s IBA Award for Sports Feature! It was the first ever story I did when I started at

being amazing stars! Hopefully this is the first of many more!
As I leave Bowling Green today I just wanted to thank everybody who’s been a part of my four years here at WKU. From the herald to ExtraPoint to RedZone to WKU Athletics, I’m eternally grateful for all the opportunities I’ve gotten. Thank you for everything!
I try my best to be unbiased as possible but I couldn’t help to have a huge smile on my face during that game. I went to WKU and saw tournament championship losses 3 out of my 4 years and the other year was a regular season championship loss. It was just nice to take it all in
With this home run, McLaine Hudson has broken the record for the most hits in a single season in Kentucky high school softball history. She was also a double shy of the cycle as South Warren beats Elizabethtown 11-2 in the State Tournament.

I’d just like to say nothing I wrote in this was political in any type of way. If you have a problem with me or anyone else saying black lives matter or providing facts on oppression in this country, you need to re-evaluate yourself
COLUMN: Athletes have a platform to express themselves during this time of social injustice and racism.
Will you support these athletes and stand with them?
We’re excited to announce that we are changing our name!! After 29 years, we’ve had enough of PLD Lamplighter. Our new name is now “That’s the tea at PLD.”

Objectively speaking, I believe Hank Plona did a great job in his introductory press conference. A lot of fans wanted a big name hire but Plona provides continuity and a winning culture that has already been established. You can tell the guys mean a lot to him and vice versa.
Congratulations to Simon for signing with EKU and congrats to Isaiah for announcing that he will be playing for EKU as well. The colonels will have two Warren East legends on the team next year!

Objectively speaking, in a double elimination tournament, if one team loses a game while the other makes it to the final game without a loss, then the team with one loss already should have to beat the other team twice to win the title.

I’m not bragging about anything. I said I’m all for constructive criticism. And I strive every day to be better. But don’t say we aren’t at games when we are at every single home game. And many people including those at wku can back that up. Thanks for your concern tho!
Have the balls to take a poll of your coverage and watch what happens. WBKO does very little to cover WKU and everyone knows it. I DARE you to take a poll as WBKO and see how satisfied people are with your coverage.
And you brag about your coverage…write more than 4 paragraphs
How bout an upset in some HS Volleyball?

Coach Lutz has always been a great guy. He’s the same guy on camera that he is off. He didn’t have to talk to the “media guy” but we’d always have conversations beyond the court. I can’t say enough nice words. We are more than our titles and I’ll forever appreciate him.
