KATY, TX [October 26, 2023] – The Katy ISD Miller Career and Technical Center video crew recently received the prestigious Dave Campbell’s Student Multimedia Spotlight Award, recognizing their outstanding contributions to the world of sports media.
These 22 Katy ISD students bring passion, dedication and remarkable skill to their craft that elevates the viewing experience for thousands of fans. In the ever-evolving field of sports media, these students are raising the bar by utilizing technology to deliver a professional-level broadcast, enhancing the overall production and in-game commentary.
According to the Dave Campbell’s Texas Football website, 10 schools will be spotlighted during the 2023 Texas high school football season and each one will receive a $1,000 donation to their program thanks to the support of VCRNOW.
“These students have greatly enhanced the game day experience by providing quality action shots, instant replays and fulfilling advertising contracts. The production is such great quality that our partner Dave Campbell’s Texan Live uses our content for their live game day feed,” said Lance Carter, Executive Director of Athletics at Katy ISD. “We are grateful for this recognition of our hardworking kids,” he added.
The 10 winners of the weekly award will be eligible to compete for the Multimedia Program of the Year for a chance to win a $2,500 donation to be presented at the 2023 UIL State Championships at AT&T Stadium.
