"Very happy for Jordan. She's a player we didn't want to lose. I think that this was the best decision for her career. She's getting very meaningful minutes. I'm just happy that she's playing." -Vlatko (? from @maddycfox.bsky.social)
"Honestly, comparing the two, scoring a goal is just the most exciting thing ever. And you see the excitement and joy on my face." -Cooper on scoring a goal for KC Current in the home opener versus scoring for USWNT (? from @maddycfox.bsky.social)
COOP GOAL COOP GOAL
GAH noticed an error — the Yohannes/Ryan setup was for the Cat Macario goal. Tara McKeown assisted Sentnor (and very nicely, I’d add)
The USWNT's opening goal against Colombia in the SheBelieves Cup was one Catarina Macario had scored countless times.
But this five-second sequence was different. It was a moment Macario had been working towards for years.

I continually abuse my platform in KCUR’s daily budget email to spread my women’s soccer hot takes™️
Ok but what if instead of Korbin Albert: Claire Hutton
I’m guessing that’s where she was aiming for, based on the power behind it
she put her foot clean through that shit
Sentnor Stunner!
First senior USWNT goal for Ally.
The kids are alright.
still dazed by that beautiful ball from Sentnor, USWNT 2
Lily to Yaz to Cat, HAPPY BLACK HISTORY MONTH
Honorable mention: initial pass from Lilly 🤯
Emma needs to get those girls doing sprints, Colombia is outrunning the US a fair bit
Untangling this tale yesterday took me and @maddycfox.bsky.social a little while...this woman was accused of killing two people in KC in 1960, fleeing to Mexico, killing another there, then escaping prison. She was free until she died (of natural causes) in 2022. www.kcur.org/news/2025-01...
Last night we published what was called an "emergency" episode of "Overlooked" to report on the Golubski suicide on the first day of his federal trial. @maddycfox.bsky.social and I unpacked the day (in a word, whew!) and what this all means in KCK. Listen here: www.kcur.org/2024-12-02/g...
…our talk show host Steve Kraske, his producers Zach Wilson, Halle Jackson, Claudia Brancart, Liz Ruiz and Josh Marvine, our announcers who run the board, our newscasters who get it out to you, and the many editors and higher-ups who cleared the decks to let us all do that work.
We are quite good at this. It takes multiple people and a lot of resources: reporter Peggy Lowe, editors me and Kris Husted, producer Mackenzie Martin, Byron Love on the podcast mix, Gabe Rosenberg on digital updates and fine-tuning and him and Allison Harris on social…
- a soon-to-be released podcast episode for our Overlooked series that goes deep into Golubski’s history and what got us to now www.kcur.org/overlooked
- a version of which will appear on our daily news podcast, Kansas City Today
- a radio spot that aired nationally on All Things Considered
- three sets of local spots — from Golubski’s home, the courtroom and the protest outside the courthouse — for local radio
- a segment on All Things Considered www.npr.org/2024/12/02/n...
- a live segment on our daily talk show, Up to Date, that the producers pulled off when they were already mid-live show
- an obituary www.kcur.org/news/2024-12...
Today, Roger Golubski died — apparently by suicide — the very hour his trial on federal civil rights charges was supposed to start. Here at KCUR, we produced
- a quick-hit digital story with multiple updates

I still report occasionally. I made myself KCUR’s Kansas City Current reporter, and am at most home games in the press box and on the radio talking about it. www.kcur.org/sports/2024-...
from Savannah Hawley-Bates, who I edited on an interim basis the first half of the year and is going to be my new local government reporter, a look at how transit for leisure activities falls short in the metro www.kcur.org/sports/2024-...
from Peggy Lowe, in partnership with KFF Health News, a series about the aftermath of the Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting told through the lens of the people injured. this one's the latest www.kcur.org/news/2024-10...
from Celisa Calacal, Missouri Republicans' strategy of punching down at cities (that's a common blueprint across the country). Celisa is transitioning into our race and culture reporter role, so sadly I am not her editor anymore -- but you should keep reading her work! www.kcur.org/politics-ele...
some work from each of my reporters I've edited that I'm proud of: from education reporter Jodi Fortino, a nuanced look at the challenges of providing adequate special education in even well-resourced districts www.kcur.org/education/20...
