Working on sports, anti-drug movie
MOSES LAKE - The Moses Lake High School video production crew is getting ready to film basketball and wrestling, and they are looking for volunteer announcers from the community.
Instructor Bob Schroeder said in the past, teachers have volunteered to announce for sports games covered by BNC TV, but so far no one is lined up. He is offering training to anyone who knows how the sports work. Sports being filmed once or twice per week are high school basketball and wrestling and college basketball.
"If we can get anybody in, we'll train them," Schroeder said.
Students can become announcers for a fifth period credit.
The production crew was recently handed awards at the Nov. 30 district board meeting. Since August, the 18 students put in a total of 430 hours outside of class. They hope to record more remote games this year than in the past. Last year, students recorded 75 remote events.
"This year, we could very well end up doing at least 160," senior LeeAnna Pike said.
On Thursday, students recorded a mock arrest scene in the high school parking lot for a movie about substance abuse. Co-producers and juniors Marie Quade and Kileen Palmerton wrote the script. The crew hopes to finish before Christmas and plans to air the movie on channel 3.
School Resource Officer Ray Lopez "arrested" junior Stephanie Jacobs for driving under the influence and junior Brandon Oversby for minor in consumption.
"I wanted to get arrested and the school record it, without the punishment of it," said Oversby, who is taking the class.
Jacobs said she thought the movie could inspire people to realize the results of substance abuse.
"It might be fun until a friend loses a life or something," she said.
The arrest scene seemed frightening even though she knew it was fake.
Lopez said the students approached him asking him if he would be involved with a mock DUI arrest scene.
"I think it will be really educational for the community, being that it will be televised," he said. He said he thought the video would benefit youth too.
