KSBI’s “OK SportsWrap” to address teen suicide

KSBI’s “OK SportsWrap” will address the national issue of teen suicide from a local standpoint by focusing on the factors that might cause a teenager in Oklahoma to contemplate suicide.

In this episode airing at 6:30 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25, the story of Blake Laughlin will be shared. Laughlin took his life last spring, affecting not only his family, but  also Mount St. Mary High School and its baseball team.
