Thursday Night Lights! 🎤🏈

KCEN sports anchor Sydney Wicker shared the Thursday Night Lights experience with Baylor JPR&NM student Abrie Phillips last week!

Sydney offered students in Professor Amber Adamson's Reporting and Writing course the opportunity to shadow her. Abrie took her up on the offer and got to experience firsthand what it's like to be a sideline reporter at a local high school football game.

Thanks, Sydney, for sharing your time and expertise with the next generation of sports broadcasters!
