Lainie Fritz joins KPRC 2

Lainie Fritz

KPRC 2 has hired Lainie Fritz as its new sports reporter and multi-media journalist (MMJ) according to an internal station memo obtained by mikemcguff.com.

Fritz most recently worked as the main sports anchor/reporter at WCBD Charleston, South Carolina.

Channel 2 is quite the homecoming for Fritz who interned there in 2012.

Beyond that she attended Sam Houston State University.

I'm quite sure Fritz has grown up loving sports, especially football.

If the last name sounds familiar, it's because Lainie's father is Willie Fritz, the Tulane University head coach.

According to Wikipedia, Fritz was the head football coach at Sam Houston State University from 2010 to 2013. He also coached at Blinn College in the 90s.
