This time on CNTV News, Brad Clonch and Quin Tran begin with a couple who have spent the past two decades showing students how to win on the field, the court and in life. Daniel and Melissa Johnson are winning coaches, educators and mentors, and parents to two star-athlete daughters. After coaching football for 15 years, Daniel shifted his focus to coaching girls' softball and basketball so that he could coach his two teenage daughters. This past year, their basketball team had the most wins in school history, and they won a playoff game for the first time in 34 years. "The kids will teach you just as much as you teach them," Daniel says. "If you're a good coach or a good teacher, you're learning from the kids as well."

Daniel's wife Melissa is also an educator and coach with nine volleyball championships under her belt. The first-generation college graduates have instilled the importance of education in their daughters. It was during college that the two met and bonded over their shared First American heritage—Daniel's Chickasaw and Melissa's Pawnee ancestry—and their children were raised to embrace and honor their native culture. With both daughters now in college, Daniel is returning to the football field and Melissa is taking on a new challenge as a volleyball referee.

Chickasaw youth participated in sports camps hosted by the Chickasaw Nation. From tennis and golf to baseball, softball, basketball and more, the kids learned drills and techniques from college athletes and coaches such as Oklahoma Baptist University basketball coach Jason Eaker and Oklahoma City University softball coach Bobbi Bridges.

More than 400 students participated in Chickasaw Summer Arts Academy at East Central University in Ada. Over the years, the program provides an opportunity for students to explore their creativity through traditional art, textiles, multimedia, culinary arts, theater and more. "Especially with a bunch of other students who share your love for arts, it helps build community in a way," says participant Natalie Lawson. "I have made many friendships here." In an effort to preserve an important site in Chickasaw history, Governor Bill Anoatubby signed documents giving Fort Washita trust status, putting it under the jurisdiction of the Chickasaw Nation. More restoration plans are ahead for the fort and its grounds.
