Sarah Fenske talks with two members of the award-winning team: Zack Lesmeister, who is a graduate of Marquette High School, a freshman at Emerson College and a former St. Louis youth poet laureate, and Keana Fox, a graduate of Collinsville High School who is headed to college in Indianapolis this fall. Also participating in the discussion is one of the team’s coaches, Sahara Sista SOLS.
