SPORTS!!! 🏈

Here’s a little sneak peek at something fun Trevor Lewis - KOAM News Now and I filmed this morning that will air later this month on the KOAM Morning News!

Let’s just say I put my nonexistent athletic skills to the test running drills and catching some passes on the Pitt State football field for a very fun segment…

Probably one of our more delicious shoots! Have you heard of a high school with a coffee shop in it ran by students? Well that’s exactly what’s at Joplin High School, an opportunity students have through FTC!

We learn all about the marketing and communication skills students are learning, as well as students who’ve recently gotten to go to nationals for DECA.

You won’t want to miss it on the KOAM Morning Show or anytime after on our website KOAM News Now.
