HELLO ST. LOUIS 👋🏼
So excited to share that I’ve joined the sports team at
@KMOV
. Since moving to Missouri, I’ve seen how special the sports scene is in St. Louis and I can’t wait to experience it.
Mizzou lands Missouri's top recruit & one of the best offensive tackles in the nation. Eureka's Jack Lange (
@JackLange55
) commits to Mizzou over Nebraska, Michigan, & Wisconsin.
Here's the moment & what went into the decision:

Great perspective from Kickapoo coach Mitch McHenry about what this state championship loss means to him. He continually praised his four seniors after the game for their leadership and hard work this season.

How much do

fans like Yadier Molina? This much!
@Sgf_Cardinals
fans are lined all along the Hammons Field to get their free Yadi tumbler tonight as the Spring Birds face Frisco.

Hey
@nixaathletics
, you're going to need a larger shot put sand pit.
Jackson Cantwell is one meet in to his high school career and is already breaking records.
OUR STORY HERE:
On my way back to the Ozarks tonight and got a front row seat to a storm at 30,000+ feet! Never experienced anything like it, the view from up there was breathtaking! I’m guessing the storm was somewhere over Oklahoma/Arkansas!
Incarnate Word dominates from start to finish as they claim their 4th straight state title by beating Kickapoo 53-43.
Abbie Sextro & Kaylynn Janes have never lost a high school basketball game.

A tough day for many athletes at Lindenwood as the university is cutting ten athletic teams.
This comes just one year after LU went Division I. Here’s a list of the teams being cut at the end of their seasons, including men’s wrestling & lacrosse.

Congrats to Kickapoo on an incredible season and a 2nd place finish in Class 6. The Chiefs have been a fun team to follow all year with a great group of seniors.

1st place story:
I’ve been to a lot of high school gyms and been in a lot of cool environments but tonight at Central is near the top. ‘The Pit’ is one of the coolest places to watch a game and it was packed for

It's hard to believe I've been in the Ozarks for a year already. It's gone so fast, yet it's been so fun. I've loved getting to know the Southwest Missouri sports scene, and I'm excited for more memories with

WATCH: At First Pitch, MSU honored the 2003 College World Series team and handed out the 2023 Missouri Valley Conference Championship rings. Former Bears standout Jake Burger talks about baseball in Springfield, playing in the MLB, and much more.
Great chatting with
@swerveconfident
this afternoon. We talked about his main event match this Sunday vs. Samoa Joe, a guy he grew up watching. A full circle moment for Swerve.

The CITY SC supporters fill up a corner of the stadium and are way outnumbered by Sporting KC fans (expected), yet are MUCH louder than the SKC fans. If you close your eyes, it sounds a little like a CITY SC home game.

“I really believe that winning is a mentality.”
That mentality has led to a record breaking win streak for the Red Knights, and an impressive high school career for a pair of Incarnate Word seniors. All they’ve ever done is win.

Spent my morning at the College of the Ozarks chatting with the NCCAA National Champions (

The Lady Cats went 26-5 this season, including a 17 game win streak to end the season.

Congrats to

Palmer has been the head coach of both the boys and the girls programs since they started in the 1990’s.

From South Dakota to the Super Bowl!
It was extra special to cover Super Bowl LVII and share the experience with my sister,

A great season for

This group made the Final Four for the first time since the mid-1990's - here's how the support felt this week.
@OzarksOzone
@KickapooChiefs
I don't like to complain about officiating, but when the announcers mention multiple times how poorly this game is being called it's pretty bad. It's also the national championship and everyone is about to foul out.

Congrats to Springfield Catholic on a Class 4 runner up finish and an incredible season. This fightin’ Irish end the year 21-8.

Link Academy calls the Ozarks home, and this weekend they said they felt that home court advantage.
Here's what coach Bill Armstrong said he hopes his team proved to SWMO this weekend:

Ty Wilmsmeyer (

"Ty is such a dynamic player, he’s a speed player and he brings a lot of excitement to the game."
Ty Wilmsmeyer has started every game this season for the Tigers while leading Mizzou to multiple top 25 wins. OUR STORY:
A PERFECT night for Mara Titarsolej as she becomes the first Mizzou Tiger to score a 10 on bars. Here's the historic moment from her perspective...
