ASHLAND — Ashland Source reporter Dillon Carr talked about following the Ashland University women’s basketball team in Missouri with WRDL Studios on Thursday for the publication’s weekly segment on The Early Bird’s Word.
Carr discussed the 12-hour journey from Ohio to Missouri that he took with colleagues Curt Conrad and Nathan Hart, what they saw along the way and how they approached coverage of the whole trip.
The Ashland University Eagles played two games in St. Jospeh, Mo. as part of the NCAA DII quarterfinals. They dismissed UT Tyler on Monday and then skirted past Glenville State on Wednesday, earning a chance to compete for a national title in Dallas on April 1 against University of Minnesota Duluth.
Between games, Carr and his colleagues visited the Pony Express Museum and several others of interest, including the house Jesse James was killed in, the eccentric Patee House and the moving psychiatric museum.
He thanked Spherion Mid Ohio for sponsoring the trip.
