Episode 8 — Seize the Dogie with Sonja Karp
Manage episode 370737851 series 3457043
Newcastle's veteran sports reporter Sonja Karp (we call her the "Ruler of the Sports Galaxy") goes off the page with Bob and Alexis to bring Dogie nation up to speed on the state of Newcastle High School athletics. The award-winning Karpe Dogie columnist talks about the year that was and the year to come at NHS, including some memorable campaigns for some Lady Dogie athletes last year and the high hopes parents, fans and coaches have for the incoming group of athletes. While we were at it, we talked about how hard it is for Middle School success to translate into high school championships in Newcastle, and the newspaper's job to look for the positives in our programs and young athletes to encourage support from the community. Hopefully that won't be a challenge in the coming year, as Sonja throws out some promising reviews (spoiler alert!) of the Dogie/Bobcat wrestling team, and hints that good things are coming for Dogie hoops and swimming programs as well. Alexis also brings us up to speed on a really big week at the hospital — and the budget to match. We also talk about modern cows and new-fangled ranching...not that we really know anything about that stuff!
