EL PASO, Texas -- Lane Frank is an expert when it comes to sports, and he's only 12-years-old.

Frank needed an outlet, and that led to him starting a podcast that combined both his love of sports, and also broadcasting.
"I basically started liking sports when I was like 7, 8 years old," Frank said. "I learned more every year, watching more games to grow the sports knowledge."
The name for Frank's podcast is called "Schoolyard Sports."
