My old sports reporter job in Springfield, MO, is *finally* posted.

Chance to cover a great HS sports region, Missouri State and many amazing people. So much freedom to grow. The job's what you make it

Loved this job. Reach out if you have any questions https://t.co/SlWwcrJaWm

[Nathan Papes @NPapes]

Gotta hand it to @PatrickRansdell and his team. This was my 20th season shooting @MoStateFootball and it had one of the best game atmospheres I can recall.

Missouri State put up a good fight in the first half but fell 28-10 to SMU.
