Broadcast students win at state SkillsUSA contest

Ten Broadcast Production students from the Cape Girardeau Career and Technology Center recently competed at the Missouri State SkillsUSA Competition in Linn, Mo. The Cape Girardeau Career and Technology students who won at the event were made up of five, two-person teams. Three of the teams competed in the video production contest in which they had to script, shoot and edit a 60-second promo piece during a six-and-a-half hour contest. The other two teams participated in the video product development contest, in which teams were judged on a previously produced five- to seven-minute marketing video. The medalists were Jon Henson and Casey Cattron, who received a bronze medal in the video production contest; Tyler Eggiman and Shelby Halter, who received a silver medal in the video production contest; Logan Reed and Quitman McBride, who received a bronze medal in the video product development contest; and Robert Alexander and Ben Essner, who received a bronze medal in the video product development contest. The students are in the broadcast production program taught by Randy McWilson.
