The staff at WCAT are proud to recognize the “shout out” by Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft in a letter Kraft sent on January 10 in response to a thank you sent to him by Brendan Kent, Director of Athletics, Health and Wellness in which Kraft writes, “… and a job well done by the tv production students…”. Kraft was referring to WCAT student commentators – seniors
Drew Schermerhorn and Matt O’Connor and junior Tymothy Brown and others. These three students share duties covering football, volleyball, and boys’ and girls’ basketball.
