Former Resident News Networks sportswriter, Megan Hecox, made a triumphant return to the news business after a three-year hiatus. Known for her exceptional coverage of seven different schools in various sports, Hecox left a lasting impact on readers and the industry as a whole. Her departure paved the way for her husband, Adam Hecox, to take over her role, but his writing skills fell short of her high standards.
Now, Megan is back in the game, ready to reclaim her throne as the sports writing powerhouse at Resident News Network. With a focus on her beloved Waldron Bulldogs, Hecox plans to gradually ease back into her role starting on April 1st, 2024. Her dedication to highlighting the achievements of small-town athletes and programs has always set her apart from larger media outlets.
In an interview, Hecox expressed her frustration with her husband’s performance, stating, “I wouldn’t have had to do this if my husband had pulled his weight.” Former coworker and current RNN editor, Tammy Teague, echoed the sentiment, emphasizing Megan’s unique talent and charisma in the industry.
As Megan reclaims her position at RNN, it’s clear that her impact will be felt once again. With plans to expand her coverage to other schools like Magazine, Cedarville, and Mansfield, Hecox is poised to reignite her passion for sports writing and bring her signature flair back to the newsroom. Welcome back, Megan Hecox, the Queen of sports writing has returned.
