My big announcement: I was waiting for it to be final but I'm thrilled to announce that I’ve been accepted into the CBS News internship program for the summer of 2020. I’ll be spending 10 weeks in New York City around the best journalists in the world. Couldn’t be more excited!
After Perrysburg's 14-3 loss in the regional semis, I talked with star RB
@ConnorWalendzak
. Just a great dude.
He and the rest of the team showed a lot of emotion, but gave a great answer to why this team is so special.
Watch ⬇️
Urban Meyer was spotted on the sideline at BG Football practice today. Meyer spoke to the team before their scrimmage.
Highlights and interviews coming later
Also I found out this woman "Seneca Sue" has been cheering on Tiffin Calvert for more than 40 years.
She's been hyping up the football team before every game for the last two decades. I need this kind of energy.
BGSU is charging 21 students with code of conduct violations in the Stone Foltz case.

Brett Rich is a Bowling Green kid. He played hockey at BGHS. In his final regular season game at Slater, he got to see time in net.

' Daeqwon Plowden is one of the most improved players in the MAC. The junior's points and rebounds have doubled from last year, and he's a big reason why the Falcons are so good.
A peaceful protest was held in downtown Bowling Green this evening. A few hundred community members showed up in an effort to hold police accountable for acts of brutality, and to commemorate the life of George Floyd.
My time at 13abc has come to an end, but I will still be in Toledo. Excited to announce that starting next week I’ll be joining the team at WTOL 11. Thrilled for this next opportunity and ready to make every day count. Plus here’s a pic from when I interned in 2018.

The Generals have been one of the best teams in the state and want to bring home a title:
On Saturday I went around trying to find the best tailgates at BGSU Homecoming 2019. Here's part of it. This one guy shared his buffalo chicken dip with me.
What Patrick Henry has done this season is incredible.
Lost arguably the best QB in school history in Week 6. The next week they lost 62-0 to Liberty Center.
Since then, they’ve gone 6-1 and are in the state semifinals after their backup QB threw a school-record 5 TDs. Unreal.
Stone Foltz update: Ben Boyers has been re-indicted on charges of involuntary manslaughter.
The charges had originally been dropped, but after new evidence the charges are back.
This has been in the works for a few weeks now but I wanted to wait until everything was official. I am excited/grateful to announce that I have secured a summer internship with

The BGSU-Toledo rivalry has always carried a special meaning for Evan Brown. His dad played for the Rockets in the late 1980s. He grew up rooting for UT. Now, his family will (probably) be wearing orange in the stands.
"My dad, I hope, will be wearing an orange shirt at least."

Hey I got some hardware!! A big thank you to everyone at the Toledo Press Club. Journalism is a great thing that deserves be to be celebrated. There’s so many great people in this industry that work so hard.
With my internship at CBS News finishing up, I'm taking the chance to show people what I've been working on. We were tasked with creating 1-minute stories to be published on social media. I almost never use captions for videos but I'm glad how it turned out.
