Small Town Sports Beat

Description

After taking a job in 1999 as the sports editor for The Raton Range, Bob Morris assumed it would simply be the next stop in his journalism career. But over time, he became attached to Raton and the surrounding communities. Join Bob as he shares some of his tales from the first 13 years of his career with The Raton Range. He not only shares stories about local high school athletes and their accomplishments, but stories about experiences he did not expect to happen when working in a small community. Learn about the themes that may come with sports in a small community, ranging from athletes inspired by teammates, to the struggles a high school program faces with coaching turnover, to even professional athletes who either appeared in, or had a connection to, Raton and its surrounding communities. You'll learn how the many experiences led to the author embracing life covering small town sports and life in Raton.
