Abilene Reporter-NewsSports Writer
Feb. 1993 - Nov. 1997Abilene, Texas, United StatesI covered high school, college and professional sports, including the Dallas Cowboys. My primary beat was high school athletics. Abilene is home to two highly successful Class 5A athletics program in Abilene High School and Abilene Cooper High School, and I was fortunate to cover each of them. I also covered collegiate games on occasion. My other primary beat was covering the Dallas Cowboys (home games only) from 1991 when I was a part-time staff member through 1997. I spent a week in Phoenix in January 1996 covering Super Bowl XXX between Dallas and Pittsburgh. I covered the NFL Draft from Valley Ranch (team headquarters) and went to Training Camp in Austin for at least one week for 5 straight years.
